Question
my dog June is 4 months
why does my dog keep biting my hands and legs all the time
inspite of giving her chew sticks ?? and she never barks at a
stranger !!!  

Answer
There could be several reasons.  I have a 4 month old that tries to chew on my fingers - I tell him NO firmly and give him a squeak toy.  You need to give her something to put in her mouth other than your fingers and be very firm and tell her NO when she tries to bite.  This is a really bad habit and could lead to her being a biter so stop it now.  Get a plush toy if she does not have one and squeak it and give it to her to play with.  Good luck!
