When Scolding A Dog
March 23rd, 2010
Never scold a dog that finally comes to you even if you had to chase him through the neighborhood before he obeyed. He needs to know that you will lavish praise and pet him when he comes to you. Training Boston Terriers not to jump up on people and furniture is best done with a metal can or box with 10 pennies, stones or marbles taped inside.
For convenience, it is a good idea to have several cans located in various areas throughout your home. Shake the can up and down once or twice whenever your dog jumps up. Remember to reprimand with the low tone at the same time. The noise will startle the dog and eventually the behavior will stop.
