YorkieTalk Newbie! | Update on Chloe Well Chloe has been with us for almost 2 weeks now, she was completely potty trained in 3 days, she has been to the groomer and is just the cutest thing EVER. The "attacks" on my Shih Tzus are becoming less frequent. If we catch her running to them mach 80 like her hair is on fire and we sternly say her name she will stop, we are still having an occassional incident here and there, however she is starting to understand. We resorted to using a mesh muzzle ( which she absolutely detests). If she bites one of our dogs, we immediately tell her NO and put the muzzle on her, we leave it on for about 1/2 hour while she is put into a gated area by herself ( which she also detests) She really seems to be understanding this, it's just like all of a sudden she loses control ever so often. We are determined to get this behavior corrected because other than this problem she is just a perfect dog. We just love her to pieces! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Aw, she sounds like a little pistol, this one ! And it sounds like you just adore her to no end. Congrats on such a little darling. You may want to check out the Training Section here and ask for more tips on her training. Many dogs don't/can't understand negative reinforcement (not meaning it's 'negative' what you're doing, it's just called that kind of training) and it can really confuse them over time. Other member might have some good advice on how to redirect her without having it be a punishment. She sounds like a fast learner, so you're really lucky!

| Sounds like you are doing the right thing. Keep it up and you will have a perfect dog that understands the meaning of no. |
