Is it normal for an adolecent puppy to still want to bite.Ruby still attacks my feet which she has done since she was little but hurts a bit more now and wants to bite when I'm watching telly

Hmmm ... how old is she again ? About 14 months old ?
Sounds like a mix of naughtiness with lack of manners and a bit of her character showing through.

It does sound like she’s biting to get your attention, it’s a game for her.
You (and everyone else in the household) will need to enforce the “No” command. Everyone must tell her No each time she goes for your feet. You can often tell she’s about to do it just before she does, that’s great if you can intercept and avoid the attack altogether !
Only when she’s calm and not eating your feet can she have some attention (treat, cuddle, play or whatever else she’s trying to get). With consistency you will save your toes !

She is probably a “chewer” too, like my Opium.
Make sure she always has access to those chew toys - cotton ropes and kong or west paws toys do resist a certain time.

Oh yes, she’s also in the teenage-rebellion age in dogs, sorry !

Its just this past week her behaviour has changed again just like kids each phase is different and sometimes worse than the previous one lol.I can tell when she's going to attack my feet she's like a cat waiting to pounce

Don’t laugh too quickly, I’ve seen that alot of my animals are sensitive to the moon’s cycle Wink
