I'm gonna feel real guilty if everyone follows the blog's advice and we end up with a bunch of beat-up Yorkies on YT!

One thing it said that gives me comfort is that no matter how fierce the fighting sounds, it's pretty much all show. No one is getting hurt. That's a good thing.

Spank Megan? My perfect little angel?

A little sarcasm to get the weekend started! Isn't it like the middle of the night there?

Nope. We're EST minus 4. Oops, and I'm late for Jack's vet appointment!

This technique has kept peace in my house for years...you need to think from the dogs point of view..as much as we love to spoil them and treat them like kids, it's just confusing for them to keep things "fair". They really don't understand the concept. My alpha gets the first treat when I'm handing out treats and so on down the pecking order. There are only minor squabbles when someone is trying to Up their Place in the scheme of things, and it's usually quickly resolved.

I think I may try the dipping in peanut butter idea just for kicks...

Teri, just ignore his Megan comments...he only gets worse if you pay attention to him.....another good training tip, gosh, I'm on a roll.

Megan is MUCH more fun to tease than the two of you!

But, thanks sylvan, it's good to hear from people who have had success with the technique.
