I tried applying this with Chewie when he jumped on me, but he thought I wanted to play and rolled over exposing his belly  . But Chewie was never aggressive and he pretty much knows we are the owners ( except when we eat, then he climbs on us trying to steal food  ) |
Even trainers who support this method do
not recommend it for
terriers...maybe the trainer you saw is confused.
