Lola is pretty confident, not much scares her, Joel is probably the same, so I guess that's why it does not bother me so much, because I know my Lola would emerge from the box full of piss and vinegar and ready for another round. Some of you have more timid pups and a lot of you bless your hearts, rescue pups, so i can understand why this would worry you |
He's hardly bad bc the timeouts work for him, he rarely gets timeouts. I think he'd rather be in the toy box in timeout where he plays in by himself anyway and still be near everyone then to get sprayed with water or yelled at or put up in a room. I mean im going to have to dicipline once in a while. He plays in the toybox on his own so I doubt he's scared of it, and yes it's hard to find something effective for him bc not much stuff gets to him, he's not scared of anything and is stubborn.
I also would't compare it to puting a child in a dark closet, that would be messed up lol. You wouldn't spray a kid with water when they yell, or whatever things you do with your dog. So I dont think you could compare a dog in a toybox or an upside down basket or whatever timeout place to putting a kid in a closet, just saying
