QuestionWe have a 14 wk. old lab mix that's destructive, too jumpy, chews on everything including furniture, and does not mind you at all. He stops when you say "NO!" or pull him off by his choker but then he goes right back to doing the same thing. He only sits when you have a treat for him. He jumps up high and bites too, it's driving me nuts and i want to get rid of him but the boyfriend wants to keep him. I've had it! He has lots of toys to chew on also.
AnswerDARCIE
PUT A LITTLE VINEGAR IN WATER IN A SPRAY BOTTLE, EVERY TIME HE DISOBEYS, SPRAY HIM IN THE EYES AND HOLLER NO!
THEN HAND A TREAT LATER WHEN HE IS DOING GOOD AND TELL HIM WHAT A GOOD DOG YOU ARE BEING. DOGS LEARN OUR ENGLISH AND KNOW WHEN YOUR PRAISING WHEN YOU POSTURE ANGER, ETC.
MAKE SURE HE IS GETTING TONS OF EXERCISE TO STOP THIS ALSO, TIRE HIM TO DEATH.
