Everyone has given great input. I only wanted to add, "timeouts" do not work as punishments for dogs. Only humans think it works on dogs but they don't get it. There is not much of a need for timeout punishment for dogs or any physical punishment. A stern firm voice should do it, that does not mean yelling, try a lower voice like a man's. No need for smacking either, it may just make the dog more anxious and starts to bite even more. |
