Anyway, I was going to suggest to add limits for your little one along with the training techniques Nancy and Ellie suggested. For example, my apt is carpeted except for the kitchen and bathroom. Kaji was taught to stay on the carpet and not enter the kitchen. If he can't be in the kitchen, he can't beg for table scraps. As soon as he tried to join us at the table, he would be put right back on the carpet. (my parents were giving him scraps too) He now knows not to enter the kitchen unless invited. He never gets invited during dinner though.
For the licking, what you could do is when she is licking your face, say "No" (firm but not yelling) and promptly place her on the floor. If you and everyone in your family is consistent, she will learn that licking faces is not acceptable behavior. |
That is exactly what the trainer said to do. This sounds bad, but we put up baby gates to keep her away, and it stressed her out and us out sooo badly. The trainer said that the baby gates did not enforce Khloe to know her perimeters, it just kept her away. It was worse than her begging. So we practiced at breakfast (I wasn't too hungry, so I took my time getting up and putting her back in the living room. She finally gave in and laid where I put her and she watched us. (: So of course after everything was done, baby girl got a bite of pancakes. That was so much more like it. Happy Halloween, btw.
