I am a huge proponent of pennies in a can! I think it works great for barking. I actually ever really use the can anymore...that's how good it is.
A couple of weeks ago, Chewy stole a little Darth Vader figure out of my son's room. When my son noticed that he was chewing on Darth, he freaked and said No Chewy!!! and went for it. Well, our little Chewy actually went for my son's hand and almost bit him! I was absolutely livid! I picked him up and very loudly and firmly said into that ittle face..NO BITE, BAD BOY!!! Just from one yell, he was cowering for 20 minutes or so and just sat in hte corner. When I walked past him he cowered down. It felt very sad to see him acting this way. He is so used to being spoiled that being yelled at for the first time in 10 months traumatized him! I can't imagine how a little puppy would feel or act if they were actually HIT! |
