Hello again. I, too have found these little guys very high energy and also very attention demanding at times. Although I know it is often difficult to fit into our daily routines, I always try to walk Wallee before I want him to spend time being quiet. (or play a high energy fetch game indoors if walking isn't possible.) I also then give him something he likes to chew on when I need him to be quiet. I do tech support from home often which means being on the phone with clients. I need to make sure that he is quiet during these times. (not always perfect but getting much better as he gets older).
As for using the Pet Corrector, when I did have to use that, I made sure it was always followed by a firm NO. I would then walk away from him and he knew I meant business.
After he has spent time settled, if I am not with another client, I will reward him with more playing so he is sure to burn off that puppy energy.
Good luck and know that he will get better with perserverance, patience and positive reinforcement. |
