Yeah, We know, but the mother was having health issues
and He was the only puppy so He wasn't being socialized where he was so we took him early.
Thats what we tried when we first got him. That may actually be the exact article I read. I think our answer is a "variation" on it.The flick is our version of grabbing by the scruff of the neck or nipping and "hey!" is our yelp. Thanks for the article though it really is a help for a starting point.
