A dog respects a calm assertive leader not a loud, hyper, angry or frustrated human. It really sounds like he is simply challenging you and trying to be the leader of the pack. Next time he charges you or growls immediately (the key is timing) move toward him (take over his space) snap your fingers and say "no" very firmly (but calmly). I also use the "sshh!" noise to snap them back to reality and it works quite well now. But really no matter what method you use the most important thing to remember that consistancy is truly the only answer to any behavioral issue. You must be consistant and never allow this behavior.
I mentioned that a soda can with coins is a good option but I prefer to snap my fingers because I don't always have a can w/ coins in it on hand in every room hehe but I always have my fingers! Good luck with your baby.  |
That is good advice. I clap my hands together
