JackieMaya Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Maya has to go out with a cable attached to her harness, or she'll jump the fence. The cable is always attached to the harness, and I just hang the harness on the outside of the back door. I have her sit, and open the door just enough to grab the harness, and put it on her inside. If you don't have anything to attach a cable to, you could just sink a stake into the ground like I did and attach a cable to that. The only thing that isn't buried is the chain that the cable it attached to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittygirl109 Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 Update: Okay, I make him sit for his food and water, sit and stay before he comes on the couch, sit and stay before we go and a walk, and lay down for a bone. That's all so far. No nipping so far! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMaya Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Good job, Kittygirl! I bet your baby comes around real quick. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittygirl109 Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 Thanks you guys! :D *hugs* He nipped once when he didn't want to have his leash put on, but that was it. I think he's getting better. I'll keep working with it, and update you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 What do you do when he nips you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 good question...I would yell NO in a very firm voice, and then forego the walk, remember, the walk is a reward. run him thru standard obedience as a reminder. sit, stay, lay down...etc. then treat him when he obeys and try to put the leash on again. if he again tries to nip, standard obedience again. this is sounding like a stubborn dog, and needs a firm handling to stop this. he still hasnt accepted his demotion. if he does not comply, then demotion may be necessary after all....

kittygirl109 Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 I give him a tap on the nose, with a loud, NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
