Well, I tried playing with her outside with different toys and she was completely uninterested in playing with me. She only wanted to eat grass, chase birds, dig, and roll around. So that wasn't working.
When she's biting my leg, I've been trying to talk to her like do you want a treat? or something to distract her and she will let go of my pants and I tell her to sit and then I give her a treat. That's been working to get her to let go of my pant leg but a couple minutes later she goes back to it. I'm going to keep this up and hopefully eventually she will get the hint to sit nicely to get my attention.
Someone said about her whining to go outside, she whines alot to try to get what she wants so what I have been doing lately is completely ignore her when she whines and then when she is quiet, give her what she wants, to go outside or food or whatever.
I try putting bitter apple spray on my pant legs but that only effects her when it is wet. Once it dries it doesn#%92t bother her and I have been trying this for so long I think it has just made her worse.
Someone said about hockey pads, lol, if I had them I would try it. I was trying to think of something to put on my legs that way it wouldn#%92t affect me when she bit me.
I#%92ve used a quirt bottle on her before but she just trys to bite the stream of water and lick it up.
Thank you everyone for all of the great advice, I#%92ll keep it up and just hope she gets better with time.
