We used a squirt bottle when we were getting our tug trained to his kennel. he would sit there and just whine all night long but as soon as we used the water he learned real quick that if he was whining or barking or acting out in any way he was getting a shot to the face. as we were spryaing him we would use a command such as "quiet" and after a week or so of spraying him and saying quiet all we had to do was say quiet and that worked as well as spraying did. i would for sure recomend the spray bottle but be sure with whatever you are trying to teach your little doll you be very specific in your commands so everything isnt a no. weather its off the couch or down or quiet or anything else its like a trick they do. when you want them to sit you teach them that when you say sit they do it. so if they are on the couch and you want them off and you tell them no but you have been saying no all day about potty and chewing and barking and now they are on the couch it gets them very confused so be specific and they will learn faster. |
