After a major drain of his energy he is more likely to go with the flow... and he really needs the walks... Do the same at night... twice a day.. walk for 20 to 30 mins... really make him work... He's a dog, he'll be thrilled to be out walking with you!!! And he won't be so desperate for you to stay with him... he will have had his fill... lol
I hope this helps... its not an instant fix... But It works... It worked with Pixie... She doesnt let out a single whine in protest when I leave now... And if you search the posts... you'll find that she is... was the worst barker EVER! I actually thought about debarking!  Shhhhhhh don't tell anybody that... But I was seriously down to my last nerve and she was jumping up and down on it!!! but as soon as I started redirecting her energy elsewhere... it stopped... not 100% at first, but it stopped!!! And I think that you will see a marked improvement!!!
If your pup is bigger than my girl... walk him faster or longer, or both! But wear him out!!! Don't leave an ounce of that nervous energy left in him.. Or he'll freak out all day... It was not that Pixie missed me.... It was nice to say that she did... cause it made me feel good... But she was just totally board and had way to much pent up energy!
I am so flippen excited about this book I am reading... and I suggest you read it... Cause its totally confirming what I did with Pixie... And I feel so good about it!! I thought I was being a total B*tch with Pixie... Till I read this book!!! Its the Dog whisperers book.. Cezars Way... Get it! It will give you a totally new insight to the exact problems your dealing with... and it'll save you serious cash with the person your working with.... It sounds like they are using child psychology on a dog..... what you need is dog psychology! lol
Check it out!!! |
Hi,
Believe it or not i bought Cesar's way last week and already finished reading it . As for exercise I walk Royce is the morning before I go to work for half an hour and i walk him for half an hour when I get home from work ..he is 4 pounds and I dont know if half an hour before going to work is enough or not i think I will increase it to 45 minutes in the morning and see the results but im concerned i line in montreal canada wither is coming and I wont be avle to walk royce for that long especially on very cold days ie :-20 days .
i loved cesar's book and im following his advice exercise, food affection ...
I stopped treating Royce as a baby and I set limit and boundaries at home ....
