My brother has a new little mini doxi and he did the same to him because he is forocious on his feet, anyway he too is scared to death! It will depend on the personality of your pup if it works, it didn't work on my Tinkerbell because it would make her mad and she would bark back at it and try to attack it LOL. After he recovers you might want to try the water bottle, that had a better effect for us. |
