Hi all,
Thanks for the input. I appreciate all the tips!
Oliver is a good listener and is great on walks-no pulling or side sniffing. He doesn't bark at passing dogs, etc.
He is snappy when the pup corners him and paws at him or pounces on him (a five month old black lab at almost 45 pounds) or when he is guarding a chew. I have been able to point, say no, grab him by the scruff and continue to say No in a firm voice. I take the rawhide away and put my hand in front of his snarl until he stops and licks me.
I am also trying to teach the lab "gentle" and "leave it" so he stops cornering my Yorkie.
I appreciate tips and advice on my current strategies. :-) |
