My mom used the pennies in a can on our beautiful husky/Germ mix rocky when he was a pup. It really worked on him. But when I tried it on my pom, it really scared her. She was so scared of it she would pee if we even brought it out. So I never used it on Gus. All it took for Gus to stop what ever it is I don't want him to be doing is clap my hand and say no. Now that he's older he pretty much knows right from wrong. Not that it stops him from doing wrong, but if I catch him doing it he know's. If I see him doing something he should be doing now all I have to say in no Gus, drop it and point to the room I want him to go to and off he goes to and lay down while looking all so pitiful
I would say try different things and see what works best for you. Much luck to you!
