You can also have her hold him down (don't hurt him, obviously) until he sort of "gives in" and stops squirming. Or I've heard of stepping on his leash to where he eventually gives in and has to lay down. Two ways for her to show her dominance. Be gentle though, use your judgement (sounds obvious but after hearing about people letting their dogs grow out of their prong collars and having it grow into their skin... it's obviously easy to overestimate the intelligence of some human beings).  |

Indeed...
She's not too good at the holding down thing.
I think a part of it is that she hasn't been very involved in his training (she's at work while I'm training usually and he's asleep when she gets home or WAY too excited to do anything). So, tonight I made it a point to her that she had to work with him for awhile on training so he can start to see her as more of a dominant. Also, the leash thing I mentioned outside. Add to all of that doing 'jackpot' rewards when he goes to the bathroom outside now (she was just using petting and happy words really).
It's interesting to watch. Hoping all the puppy biting and freaking out gets a little more under control soon! He gets really excited sometimes! |
