According to Antje Joslin, a veterinarian for Dogtopia who spoke for Insider, though this kind of play is fun for both the puppy and the parent, it’s also very confusing. For example, if tug-of-war is OK in play, then why is it wrong if the puppy wants to play tug-of-war with the socks on your feet?”

Also, they can ‘play’ this game with someone’s hands when they become aggressive. So, try to get rid of this type of game. Instead, you can provide them with various toys and games to stimulate their minds as well.
