If they are jumping I believe they are fleas. Ticks crawl on the dog/host and when they bite you can't feel it, and then they suck blood...Not just bite. So i'm pretty sure it's flea bites your getting. As far as how to treat them I don't know for sure.....Just here to let you know those are flea bites.

Maybe some campho phenique--or calamine lotion--it will stop the itching.

And flea bites do itch terribly.

If it is a tick make sure you keep it and send it off to be tested for lyme disease and co-infections. Is the rash like a 'bull's eye rash'? Keep a close eye on the rash, I strongly recommend you see a doctor immediatly if you are bitten. I have been suffering with lyme disease for 4 years after being bitten by a tick.
