I'm going to look into the NILF program, and be a little more assertive with him. I know he isn't happy or he wouldn't be acting the way he is. |
Hi ~ Our four month old has started the barking at me thing and nipping. I have had to be a bit more stern with him but there are times he barks at us and continues because he wants to go out.
I have had to start crating him again while we eat dinner. It is something I never had to do with Gizmo so I felt it was mean in a way. It has helped some though. It is definitely a balancing act when they are little ~ we are trying to learn their language and they are trying to learn ours. Sometimes we miss the cues and sometimes they do. It takes patience from both sides.
Wishing you much success!
