Well, I gotta tell ya, the behaviorists say that no dog feels remorse. A dog who hangs his head, ducks his tail, and slinks away is simply trying to avoid punishment. In light of that, I'd say that she isn't afraid of you, plain and simple. BUT, do you really want her to be???? I don't. I don't want a relationship with my pup that's based on fear.
As far as the barking, I expect she interprets your lectures as a human attempt at barking, so she barks, too.
From what you've said so far, I think she has a potty training issue but I haven't read anything that makes me think she needs to be "taken down a notch". What was she in time-out for? |
No No....i definitely do not want her afraid of...I'm not trying to insert fear but I am trying to teach her some respect...she does need to listen and yes she is quite young.... 14 weeks....she is sooo different than her mother...she is very spunky and yes alot of fun but that fun can turn into a mean streak...she really gets carried away....as far as the potty training issue.... yes she has a long way to go but when we are with her she does use the potty pad....no accidents at night....goes straight outside when she wakes up in the morning and it has been 20 below windchills lately in the morning....
I just don't want a sassy puppy turning into a sassy dog....
