PS: Something I learned in puppy class was to turn puppy on your lap so he's belly up. Quietly tell him to 'settle'. Keep holding him gently in this position until he's laying there calmly, then treat. If his teeth keep getting in the way hold you hand up just under the jaw so he can't reach your hand. As spastic as Roxy was in class, she accepted this so quickly I couldn't believe it. She gets over excited when she's around people & dogs. |
