Eat it and Wear it!
How is my pup going to know what he did that was bad if I did not catch him in the act? How can I make him stop the bad dog behavior? My friend related this true story.
She was exasperated with her Golden Retervier pup's eating fourteen king sized pillows, the dining room table and chairs, and pulling down and gnawing on her beautiful drapes. Her regular discipline of putting his nose on it and saying "no" as she swatted his rear (firmly, but not hurting him) did not work. What to do?
The family had enough.
Her father in law tied the pup to one of the chairs and left him there for a couple of hours, saying to the pup emphatically:
"If you want to eat it, then you can wear it!"
The pup never chewed again!
Lesson: Discipline alone is not enough. The dog has to:
(1) be shown for what act he is being punished, and (2)surrender.
