Thanks so much for the wonderful advice. I had a cocker spaniel years ago and I remember going through this "teenage" stuff with him and calling the breeder in a panic. She told me basically the same thing that on no uncertain terms should he ever get away with it although practices in those days meant a little more drastic measures like a smack to the nose etc, which I have learned these days is not an acceptable correction. That is why I came here to get some advice from the pros who have gone through it successfully without creating more aggression problems. Once again, thanks, I will get a rolled paper ready for the next time I am challenge and be ready to give it a bang on my leg. Oh yeah..and the treat for doing what he was told. ;-) |
