| What I do when Chloe does this kind of stuff is give her the Ceasar Millan "CCCCCHHH" and lock my eyes on her with a serious look, she will totally freeze and almost start shaking! It's amazing what a sound and a serious look can do... |

| We did that sound with Geno and he definitely does not like it. Not too sure if he understands that we mean not to do it anymore. The serious look doesn't really work with him. When I say no sternly to him and stare at him with a serious look, he feels the need to bark like crazy at me and then get the zoomies. He's nuts. Hoping his neutering will calm him down.

| What I did with Chloe when she wouldn't listen to my CCCCHHHH was to hold her in my lap, making sure I held her in a way that she couldnt nip at me, and just give her the look and the sound, she would go nuts and try to get off but I just kept holding her and she would calm down after a minute or two and actually start giving me kisses instead! I think the neutering will probably help, but I also think trying to show them who is in charge in a non aggressive way is a good thing! |

I totally agree with you. The holding down is definitely something we do try to do. My boyfriend mainly does it when Geno is being bad whether it is towards my boyfriend or towards me. He squirms for a little but eventually he calms down. The breeder showed us how to hold put him on his back and hold him but he's gotten a little too big to do it so we just hold him tight to our chest so he can listen to our heartbeat.

and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | Sophie does the same thing and she's 3 yrs old. My husband woke up a couple weeks ago with a scratch on his upper lip. She did it while he was sleeping. She will scratch your face or hand when she wants you to pet her or your legs if she wants picked up! I'm trying to make lasagna right now, and here she is:

haha awee so cute! I don't mind if I get pawed on the hand or leg. I just take that as a simple sign of "hey mommy pick me up" or "hey mommy pet me please!" haha but I just don't think the paw on my face is too nice. I mean I can pretty much tell he's saying "hey mommy i'm playing with you" but I don't play like that lol And pretty sure he wouldn't like it if I touched his face with my hand. That's one place he really doesn't like to be touched unless he's very tired and then he just gets a bunch of kisses on his cheek from me

and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | I know what you mean! Their little nails hurt like heck on you face. We always tell her "NO" but she just doesn't get it.
