Very annoying, so when he would start I would turn and walk into his space and claim it. Do not back down. Firmly say " no " but do not yell. You do not want your puppy to fear you, just respect you as a leader. It only took about 3 times and he got the hint. He would then run off to play with my maltese Molly. Hope this helps, Pat |
I think this is great advice, Pat. If you ever watch Ceasar Milan's show he does this "claiming the space". I've done this with my chihuahua when we first rescued her and it only took a couple of times for her to know I'm the boss!
