My father rescued a dachsund when he attended my brother's destination wedding in Mexico last year. I haven't seen Pepe because my father lives in California. Pepe had lots of problems with barking and jumping, and it was also making things worse with my father's other two fox terriers jumping too. They hired a trainer. My father's wife is a huge animal lover, and she is very involved in animal rescue. I know she wouldn't allow anyone to harm any animal. Every time Pepe jumped or barked uncontrollably, the trainer sprayed bitter yuck in his mouth. Poor Pepe! It did work, though. It was like bitter apple, and it didn't taste good, but it didn't harm him. They were able to get the negative behaviors under control. |
