Why does my dog bite himself?
My dog seems to bite himself often. Usually on his back legs. Why would this be happening?
It sounds like he might have irritation that he's trying to relieve - maybe flea bites/ticks/mites? dry skin? allergies?
He could be scratching with his mouth so look for any signs of irritation or redness. Could also be nervous thing so I would first rule out any medical reason and if none are found, see if it is a nerve thing.
If it is a nervous thing, you can redirect him when he does bite his leg. say his name, have him perform a command he knows well and reward him. HE will soon understand that giving you his focus pays him more than biting his leg.
