The behavior of dogs holding their legs and biting their legs is sometimes related to sexual desire. Male dogs will produce acetylcholinesterase (AchE) in the process of metabolism, which can stimulate their sex organs and make them produce a phenomenon called "lasting clean and jerk", which means that dogs have always maintained an erection. At this time, it is normal for dogs to hold their legs and bite people to vent their sexual desire.

However, when keeping a dog at home, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the dog's behavior of holding legs and biting people has gone beyond a reasonable range. If it exceeds, you need to consider neutering the dog, which can effectively reduce the amount of acetylcholinesterase produced by male dogs, thus balancing their sexual desire.

2. Express your love and exploration.

Besides sexual drive, the dog's behavior of hugging legs and biting people may also be due to the need of expressing love and exploration. When they come near us, they may smell our smell and lick our fingers, which are all manifestations of their exploration. If dogs wag their tails and bite their legs, it means that they are very excited and happy and want to express their love.

At this time, it is a very good way for us to interact with dogs and even play with them. But if we don't like their behavior very much, we need to take the initiative to take them off our legs or other places and let them know that this kind of behavior is not allowed.

3, pay attention to distinguish between biting behavior.

Although the dog's biting behavior looks very similar to hugging the leg, we still have to distinguish these two different motives. If dogs also bite in other situations, such as biting other pets at home, or biting people in front of strangers, it means that they are aggressive. At this time, we can consider training dogs to learn to express their emotions correctly and avoid biting.

4, prompt attention to safety

Finally, it should be noted that although it is normal for dogs to bite people with their legs, they also need to pay attention to their own safety. Some dogs will lose control because of their strong sexual desire. At this time, we need to take timely measures. If the dog's behavior makes us feel uncomfortable, or our safety is threatened, we need to take timely measures to calm the dog down, such as diverting attention.
