| Other people disciplining your dog I am new to YK but not new to the dog world. I have search this board to see if anyone has posted this question before, how do you handle or feel about others (complete strangers, to friends) disciplining your dog? I am in a unique situation, I am able to bring my Yorkie to work with me on occasion. I am constantly flabbergasted by the number of people who feel free to correct my dog. I am not talking about the dog jumping up on people or any behaviors that are disrespectful: more like nickel and dime things, taking toys away, telling him to sit or stay… those little things

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I would be bothered by strangers correcting my dog, unless I was failing to keep my dog in check. When I encounter a dog doing something unwanted toward me, I speak to the human, not the dog. Giving my dogs commands -- also has not happened to me, but it would depend on the situation whether or not it bothered me. If someone wanted to see my dog perform tricks like sit or shake hands, that would be okay with me. When my brothers visit, they quietly "shhhh" my dogs when they bark. I support that.

| My dog is pretty good. Especially, when out and about. However, if needed I would step in first and if someone did before me, I would simply tell them that I would like it better if I disciplined him. I guess it also depends on how their doing it because discipline has to be right after the action. So, if your not there to correct it, it may be more effective if they give the stern no or whatever, if you approve of it.

| Welcome to YorkieTalk! I haven't really had other people correct my dog, but I don't think I would be too happy if they did. I'm interested to see what other members post on the subject.

| Welcome to YT! I cringe when people try to discipline Billi- they're too hard on her. She's 4 1/2 months and has occasional accidents. She poo'd on the rug in the living room and my bf's daughter went to rub her nose in it and I about came unhinged! You did WHAT?!!! She's still a baby, she's just learning and rubbing her nose in it helps nobody! Another person tried to swat her for biting too hard when she was 9 weeks old. Yeah, I flipped my lid on that one too! Crazy, cuz these are people who have their own dogs... No one puts their hands or yells at Billi! She doesn't need it, she's very well behaved without it. Thankyouverymuch!

Jackson has grown up at my dads house part of the time, so they are free to tell him 'shut up' any time they want, LOL No really, the only other time they even need to discipline him is to tell him to get down or stop begging. But people that he is not close to, etc, no I do not want them doing anything with my dog. Doing a few tricks etc is fine with me, but I would keep my dog close to me at all times in a work like environment.

| I'm fine with friends & family disciplining ZoE. They know my "parenting style" and follow it (whether they agree with it or not). If anything, I find that friends & family will let her get away with things/behavior that I won't. ZoE would bark to go out at my mum & dad's house & my dad would ask her "do you want to go out" and Zo would go nuts, barking & spinning around! Then my dad let her out! I told him that he's reinforcing that crazy behavior by letting her out after doing it. Instead he needs to make her sit & stay, side the door & screen open and then give her the signal to go out. Now dad has it down pat & all it good. But strangers disciplining...OH HECK NO! That would be like a stranger disciplining my child. They had better be doing something real serious & life threatening to warrant such an intrusion.

| I never noticed any one doing it to Lola before, but tonight we had friends over for dinner and one couple brought their little Wiener dog who started barking a lot on my deck and got two neighbors dogs barking, I noticed my husband was telling the dog to shut up quite a few times, did not work of course, but I thought it was kind of funny. The owners finally tried to quite the dog down.

| Just the title of this thread made me think "not no, but H--- NO". If Huey needs disciplined, I or my dh will do it. I have never been faced with this situation, tg. Now, I have no problem with someone shushing him when he is a barkomatic, but any other type of discipline such as for potty accidents would out of line for anyone other than us to do.

| The only problem I have with someone else disciplining my dogs is if I see my dogs cringe, shy away or look/act scared. I do not tolerate that. I think that crosses the line into teaching them to fear people and I don't want them to, if I did, I'll do that myself. Ive never had a stranger try to discipline my dogs. It really happens? Most people just pet them, tell me how beautiful they are and move on. If my dogs are jumping on someone they have all rights to stop them from doing that, as long as it's not swatting or physical.

| For me it really depends on the person or situation. The kids I'm watching this summer live to give my dogs commands and when the dogs won't listen to them they tell the dogs that they're bad. I don't put up with that. My mother also has a habit if yelling at my dogs for everything and anything and I don't tolerate that, either. If my dogs have done something wrong that I haven't caught I'm ok with someone correcting them about it. Not that that usually happens, just saying... |

| It has never happened to me before, but I wouldn't like it. They are my dogs and I will discipline them. If they do something that you didn't like, tell me and I will discipline my dogs in my own way..

| Thankfully I've never had a dog that needed outside interference but I think I'd be ok with someone telling my dog to shusssh as they entered the house etc but rubbing their nose in poop Or swatting them!!!! Let's just say this person had better have a GOOD doctor who knows how to fix broken bones!!!! |
