My wife and I recently adopted a 4 month old chow, collie and shepard
mix. She is a great dog and we're almost always very proud of how
well she behaves with kids, strangers and other dogs. However, in the
last few weeks she has picked up an obnoxious habit of trying to
engage me in some type of play. It normally starts by attaching
herself onto my pant leg and pulling, jumping up and snapping and
generally making it impossible for me to ignore her. She continually
bites at my legs and feet while showing her teeth and growling. I was
surprised to discover that she will even snap at my face if given the
opportunity.

I have tried our normal deterrants: "no bite", "off", "no", clapping
my hands to get her attention, walking away, but these things seem to
only get her more excited. Do you all have any suggestions on how to
curb this dominate and aggresive behavior?

thanks,

Fer
