I would recommend a few things...THEY ARE NOT MEAN...JUST TOUGH...like doggie brat camp..So when you go out with Esme, try putting her in a purse like carrier. She will howl and scream but will eventually get the picture..they all do. You can also carry around bitter apple spray, everytime she howls and screams, put a drop of it on her tongue and TRUST me she will get the pictures. That's how I got Coco to quit some ugly habits. It only took me two drops to get her to stop the behavior that I didn't like. Don't worry about what others will think, IT'S YOUR DOG! It's like when you have a child, they scream to be brats and people think you're abusing them or something..Or I would just keeep holding her and letting her howl, until she stops on her own. When she doesn't howl, and is quiet, praise her and give her a treat. |
