And, I might add, when you put them up in a crate or another room, use a command as you are going there.
I have two girls who would once in a while get into some tiffs. I snagged each one and say in a loud tone "time out" and put them in separate rooms for about 5 minutes. They DO come out with a different attitude most of the time...if they go back to fighting, I do it again...immediately. Most days they get along really well now...this has been a work in progress with them.
That is also important...use a command when you put them in time out...with Matty I always said "kennel up". He learned...and it got to where all I had to do was say the words and he went to the crate...or later to the bathroom. |
