When a dog grabs and tugs at your pant leg, it is rarely out of spite. Most often the dog is trying to get your attention, invite you to play, or signal a need such as an empty food bowl.

The fix is consistency: ignore the behavior, reward calm following, offer chew toys, and meet the dog's exercise needs. Understanding the motive behind the bite is the first step to changing it, and learning your dog's other body-language cues helps you bond.
