Well, I did talk to the trainer b/c the class doesn't start till the 29th. She suggested something similar too because although she uses positive reinforcement, in this case his life is in danger and it calls for drastic action. She said to try water and/or a loud noise. One of the other forums discussed a metal bowl and spoon, so I thought I'd try that too. My plan is to have the neighbor hide outside with the garden hose on a light spray (my husband said if the water was too strong it would blow him back into the house because he only weighs about 3.3 pounds!) while my husband makes sure no cars are coming and we'll have the kids hold the door open. |
