QuickSilver - very interesting advise. I may use this soon, because time out and yelping does not help.

I think I realized something today. She does not get aggressive with me til I sit in the floor with her. That is when she jumps on me and starts trying to dominate me. I think I will try to stay elevated above her and not get down on her level.

Another other advise is appreciated.

Noelle acts totally embarassed if I use my "angry" voice with her. I honestly think she knows by the look on my face before I even say a word.

I have though about this - thanks I might give this a try

She would start to run and I would chase her till I got her and put her in her puppy playpen for a short period of time. I only do it to let her cool down and then I take her out. Because she is in her puppy pen when I have to work. Kinda like her own bedroom/den. HOWEVER, I finally found something that she didn't like...at all. I took a coffee can and put coins and a few bolts in it. Now she learned real fast. Just try it. They hate the sound. Now f she even see's me heading for the can, she stops lol But please try it. Someone told me to try and I was glad I did. I, too, was getting really upset that she thought she was the head. I took that away from her and put her in her place, which was below me. One strong suggestion is, you must say no at the same time you shake the can. Soon she will associate the word with that can and realizes in turn that "No" is negative.
Rarely do I use the can. Come to think of it, I haven't used it now for 3 weeks. Give it a try, it doesn't cost a thing.
If you do, let me know if it works for you.
BTW, I just taught my 8 yr old Granddaughter how to use it. Jemma goes nuts when she see's her,she loves her. But when she starts to get a little nuts, my Granddaughter uses it. I told her only one shake and the word No. But again, the two are just kids. But it's kidding a lot better

Good luck, I've been there.

Thanks Jemma, the can sounds like a good idea. Get it? "sounds" like a good idea? LOL Everyone is giving me a lot of ideas to use.

I'm not sure how old your dog is, but if she's still a puppy, give her more of a chance. She's little and she's still learning. You wouldn't expect a toddler to immediately know how to share their toys, right? Same scenario. I do know what it's like when they seem to "sass" you. Smokey sometimes gets into these barking fits and when I tell him to "Quiet" he'll pause, look square in my eyes, and bark once more. I tell him quiet again, and he'll repeat. Finally, I'll go to get up to hold his mouth shut, force submission... something, and he'll sprint off in the other direction. I can't help but laugh sometimes cause he just wants to play and wants attention, but sometimes it just isn't the right time and they do need to learn to listen.

Thanks for giving me an age/timeline. Bonnie is 6 mo. I guess she is in the toddler/tantrum stage, and just wants to see what she can get away with. LOL =Very good advice thanks

But that doesn't mean that you can't make them be obedient and submissive to you... Since you have the second type...you just simply need to find something that works like the "can of coins"...or "the water bottle"...so that she will at least behave...and not sass you...That way she will be submissive to you...and respect you as pack leader..

good luck...

Also I would definately take her on walks and make her stay by your side...that will also teach her that you are the leader....that's a fast way to train them..and you will both have a good time on the walk.

Thanks for your post. You are right she just might be the second type. She actually does very good on our walks. I sometimes do not even realise she is on the lease. She walks very good and most of the time never pulls. I make her sit before feeding, and we are working on sit, down, come. She does a good job on those.

wemple2 · 04-13-2009, 06:05 PM

You have gotten very good advise so far...hope I can help as well. As far as her biting goes...she may very well be teething and is actually chewing on you. But, either way...I found the best way to stop it, is to put a chew toy in her mouth every single time she starts biting...so get use to carrying one around with you. Be consistent...she will learn that she is not to chew on you, she is to chew her toy...then simply walk away from the situation. After awhile try again...and again...and again. Good luck!

You know what? I'm very impressed by this thread and how it was kept on the positive side instead of getting overheated and over reacted to. I love when people take the time to work something out instead and show kindness and understanding! This was awsomeeeee!!

JoeyP · 04-14-2009, 06:16 AM

Dogs are Extremely intuned to your body language and voice intonations
If you sound angry .... they are going to react to that anger even if they do not know what you are saying

For example ... when you find that your pup pooped on the carpet maybe yesterday
If you show anger your pup might run and hide or put his head down
But he can in no way understand what you are so angry about

When I tell my Zach NO BARK!
He comes over to me and gnaws on my fingers complaining
It's so funny .... you can tell he's asking permission to bark

LittleMissChloe · 04-14-2009, 02:03 PM

We have quite a bit of dicipline issues at our house, because my mom is home with Chloe all the time and has her spoiled but when I go home she does NOT get away with biting and tantrums. I tell her "no" in a firm voice then put her in a corner, tell her to stay and keep her there for 2 minutes. IF she is still giving sass (show teeth) when i go to take her out she gets an extra minute, if she decides to leave the corner before her 2 minutes are up I put her back without saying anything and give her "the look".

Yea at 6 months she's in her "terrible two" phase. Consistency is key. Also, taking her to obedience classes could help.

Sweetlips6 · 04-14-2009, 04:08 PM

Update: I tried the pennies in the can last night.
We were in my bedroom. I usually get on the floor, but decided not to get in the floor, since that is when most of the bad behavior starts. She started biting my feet. I said "no bite" and decided to get up on my bed. *my attempt to ignore her*. I then went and got the penny can and got back on my bed. She started jumping and digging on the bedspread. I told her "No, get off" in a very firm voice. She started barking, so I shook the can one time, and said NO in a firm voice. It scared her to death. Poor girl. But I can tell you, the rest of the night all I had to do was reach for the can and she straightened right up.
I hope to get the same results tonight.
