| Can you believe it?! So I'm looking up things that I'm going to need before I bring home my new puppy and I just happened to fall upon this website. All seemed well until I read the section about nighttime. "...put a towel over the front of the crate so the puppy can't see you, clap your hands and firmly say NO! If he still insists on crying, than take a heavy object (hammer, club, baseball bat, combat boot or my personal favorite a cast iron skillet) and slam the top of the cage with it and firmly say NO!! This loud noise and vibration will instill the word "NO" into your puppy's memory..." Is it just me, or does this seem TERRIBLE!!! That isn't training your puppy, its scaring it to death!

| uggghh! that sounds horrible!! I agree maybe when trying to get them to stop some things with the banging of a metal spoon on a pan once or twive to get their attention. But that sounds horrid. I feel for their puppies |

| I tried the crate thing with Beau, but I decided I wanted him to sleep with me (he wasn't even crying, I just missed him ).

| Oh wow! I just kept reading to see what else this person had to say and they said to make sure you have a flyswatter with you at all times to hit the puppy with it if he is doing something wrong! This person claims to be a renowned breeder?!?

| There's a good way to have a dog that's petrified for life with some serious behavioral issues.... "Use a flyswatter on the dog..." What is wrong with these people!? I got a place in mind for their flyswatters! Last edited by BamaFan121s; 12-07-2007 at 07:49 AM. |

| If you click on the link, and read the part labeled flyswatters, it states that they actually PROVIDE the flyswatter with the puppy! I'd hit the lady with it, if she handed me a flyswatter and said use this!
