 something to try...
the trainer i have suggested (when someone is home ONLY) to leave snickers in her harness/leash and when she does a behavior we are trying to stop you can step on her leash (if she is running away or with a toy you dont want her to have etc) and then put the leash on a doorknob and she has a "timeout"
for 30 seconds... and you ignore him/her
but that 30 seconds doesnt start until they stop crying/barking etc
and when you let her out of time out dont go crazy over her then its like a reward... just undo the leash from the doorknob and allow her to join the rest of the household
i havent tried this myself yet so i am anxious to hear what other YT'ers have to say about this... |
