It really depended upon how quickly she would give in. I never let go until she was completely submitted. When I loosened my grip (I hold her on her chest between her front legs), if she still wanted to rumble, I just retightened my hold. It took a few times before she got the message. She is pretty good now, but I did it EVERYTIME. Sometimes, it was a bit embarrassing....when my guest came in, there I was on the floor holding the dog down. I just explained what I was doing. If it was too weird for them...too bad. |
