When Jasper is playing, he's rather bite us than his toys! He has a wide variety of toys (stealing some of the cats as well) but he loves to chase our feet when we walk and bite our legs/clothes. What do I do about this?

Hello. I assume that Jasper is a fairly young puppy. He just needs to learn what is appropriate play & what is off limits. Always gently correct him as soon as he starts any inappropriate play by distracting him with a toy & always reward him with praise or a treat as soon as he turns his attention from your feet. He will soon learn & outgrow this behavior. thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
