Re: Feet
Roxy used to love doing this as a pup! We would yelp and say "no" and turn away from her until she calmed down. She eventually grew out of it

My twins are 14 so it's quite funny watching them dance around the room as long as it's not going to last

Re: Feet
Just do as Lisa says all of you then she'll learn it's a no-no! And yes I agree it would be fun to watch her attack the teens

Re: Feet
Zeus used to do this, among many other unwanted behaviors as a pup. I tried the yelp and 'no' technique a fair bit but didn't really work for me.
What worked really well and in a quick time was whenever he done something we didnt want him to do, we'd say 'no' in a firm, forceful manner (didn't always have to be a loud shout) and picked him up and put him in another room (kitchen for us) to calm down for a minute or so. Then we'd bring him back in and the same again would happen if he made the same mistake.
I remember on one occasion, I did it almost 10 times in a row.. a few weeks of using this technique and all unwanted behaviors were gone.. chewing door frames, skirting boards etc.. going for feet.. toilet training. Might want to give it a go.

Re: Feet
We did the same as goldie, moved to another room or ignored him and he grew out of it pretty quick
