I have always wondered how people train multiple dogs in a pack...we had four here and now three and some things like walking has to be done indivually, even for the ones who do obey they get naughty when another is not.
Can you ever separate them out and work on the training with the "bad apples" I have to of course I have one bad apple named Princess Monster
She learned everything naughty from my BF's dog who was here for a her critical pup stage...so I see how Princess picks right up on "tricks" and commands when Scoobers does them, yet in the same way disobeyed with Peanut's influence

When I use a spray bottle, same thing, I end up hitting innocent bystanders!! I have tried the ultrasonic barker breaker too and my littlest, quietest angel was shaking in terror I had to stop using it too!! I wouldn't ever get a shock collar, but I understand when people are at their wit's end!! I end up using my ear plugs during the day!! |
