Your dog may have flea allergies, or other allergies, or just have dry skin. Try an oatmeal shampoo and a liquid called hot-spot, if this doesn't help I would consult your veterinarian. You can also find pet products cheap and without a prescription at pets-megastore.com.

I know this sounds crazy but try some Murphy's oil soap while bathing your puppy instead of shampoo. Use just like shampoo. I have 2 Japanese Akitas and when I got them, the people I bought them from recommended me to use it because akitas are known to have extremely dry skin and they will scratch and scratch. Well I live by Murphy's oil soap now, I wouldn't use anything else. My dogs never scratch anymore it's a lifesaver. Hope this helps.

maybe you could put gloves on its paws, or take to the vet to see what's wrong

Vets believe that it can be only controlled through the long term treatment without drugs. You can use an Elizbethan collar to prevent the puppy from entering the area where fleas are present. Vacuum the place of the puppy if it has carpet. Also use Insecticide or herbal flea washes and pest control sprays. Even if the puppy does not have fleas this treatment is necessary.
