6 year old started attacking feet

txmarineinfantry

My 6 year old boy has started attacking my daughter's feet. Only her feet, no one else. Any advice? He is a good member of our family and has only started this recently. We love him and don't know what to do. Any help or advice is appreciated.

How old is your daughter?

A training collar would work excellent in this situation. Safe and effective and will stop this dominate and aggressive behavior. Best to correct this issue in a timely manner before it escalates to further aggression especially if your Bull Terrier isn't listening to you when you tell him to NO.

Thank you

Have you notice a pattern in this behavior? Like if he attacks bare feet, certain shoes or color? Does he do it aggressively or just trying to force her to play? Any chance she might step on him or hurt him with her foot? Dogs can remember such things and be triggered by the object that hurt them.

He attacks her bare feet and feet with shoes. He is not playing. I thought she may have done something to him, but she says she hasn't. It has all started out of the blue.

Maybe a scent thing....try spraying her feet with apple cider vinegar solution dilute with some water....just to see if he'd hate it. Thinking outside the box😉 goodluck!

It's a dominance thing. Something that requires attention before it escalates to aggression.

Thanks for everyones response, it stopped as soon as it started. He has returned as a member in good standing.
