 Teaching Benjamin the word "NO"
So ... today benjamin held his poops and pees for 5 1/2 hours today!! Sounds great except that he had access to the pad all day and decided to teach me a thing or two about going to work and leaving him home... as he proceeded to eliminate in my kitchen and living room as soon as set free...
Of course I didnt scold him... But some one asked me have I taught him "NO" yet...
and well I haven't so my friend having large dogs uses the choke collar to teach this... but that will never do for little benji... so I started with the nose flick... Unfortunately.. this only enrages him and makes it worse...
My silk throw pillows are taking a beating.. and every time i flick his nose and give a stern NO he atttacks my hand and goes back to chewing even more aggressively... and then if he sees me even try to put my fingers into the "flick" position attacks my hand wildly....
Any better suggestion??? |
