I tried pennies in a can with Bennett and he thought it was the funniest thing going. The next step after shaking the can - is to throw the can for more noise..not at the dog on the floor. Bennett pushed the can around like it was his new favorite toy. I bought an air horn - party noise makers, etc. to no avail. I'm happy it worked for you - I'm going to try again.

Now I don't even shake the can, I just show it to him. He keeps his distance from the table now. It seems to work for other things to. If he gets out of hand I just pick up the can. As soon as he sees it he stops. It has been a wonderful tool! He's still onery, but much improved. I just wish I had tried it earlier. Best of luck!  |
