It will take a few times but keep at it. Right now, we are working on the spray...Becks HATES the spray. |
thats exactly what i did with teddy.. he listens so much better since my husband and I have let him know that we're the bosses.. he was afraid of the spray but now he's use to it. We use to actually use the puppy colgone as a "bad dog" method.. he's being bad so we give him a little spray and say bad boy...but now he doesn't mind it anymore so our method is broken lol.
