So I'm looking up things that I'm going to need before I bring home my new puppy and I just happened to fall upon this website. All seemed well until I read the section about nighttime. "...put a towel over the front of the crate so the puppy can't see you, clap your hands and firmly say NO! If he still insists on crying, than
take a heavy object (hammer, club, baseball bat, combat boot or my personal favorite a cast iron skillet) and slam the top of the cage with it and firmly say NO!! This loud noise and vibration will instill the word "NO" into your puppy's memory..."
Is it just me, or does this seem TERRIBLE!!! That isn't training your puppy, its scaring it to death!
