His behavior is a safety issue, also an embarrassment for me, I don't like to think when he's behaving in Cujo mode ppl will think I accept this type of behavior, what ever it takes I need to try to correct this. I know he will not get sprayed this week, but the bottle must be in his view. Thanks chachi, a good reminder for others that may read this thread. |
You are a good mommy and doing what you need to do by taking him to training and accepting the trainers methods even if you dont like the. I just wanted to remind people a dog with an extreme reaction to noises or water needs to be trained by the owner to be more accepting of noises because noises are part of life its unhealthy for the dog to have fear reactions to noises. I have a really nervous type of dog and she is afraid of fireworks and sometimes thunder which I think can be understandable but if it were to more everyday noises I would be conditioning her to get used to the noises not avoiding things that bring noise like pennies in a can
