Quick Dog Discipline
1. Don't react to the evidence. Control yourself. Don't say anything. If the dog is in the room and you enter, avert your glance from the evidence as soon as you notice it. Even if the dog is already running away , don't say anything. 2. Go and get the dog. He may shiver, shake or freak out as you approach. Sometimes sidestepping toward the dog helps. Approach quietly. Don't say anything. Grab him by the collar and bring him to the evidence, quietly but firmly. Sit him in front of the accident. Don't say anything. 3. Keep some upward tension on the collar to keep the dog in the "Sit" position. Focus his eyes on the accident. Do not put his nose in front of it, but do firmly orient the dog's head down toward the elimination. Don't yell or whine. Keep your voice flat and deep. Focus the dog for just two to three seconds on the mess. 4. After letting the dog raise his head, give a strong tap under the chin or a firm shake under the neck, continue scolding and taking the dog's collar, march the dog to the appropriate place for elimination. Do not pick the dog up to take him to this area. 5. If you have to put him in the back yard, take him out and then leave. If you have to take the dog down an elevator and onto the street, do it as fast as possible and give him a slight scolding without nagging as you exit. If you are taking him to a paper, say, "This is where you go!" in a low, firm voice, and leave him there. You will find that you only have to stay two or three minutes in the area you have escorted him to. The dog will be so shook up that he will probably not eliminate (he just went in the wrong place) but you have to make the connection for him as to where he is supposed to go. 6. Make the transition from inappropriate area to appropriate area as swift and smooth as possible. Obviously, it is helpful if the distance to be covered is short. 7. When you return, isolate the dog for at least fifteen minutes and clean up after him. Don't let the dog see you clean up. He shouldn't be able to because he will be isolated. The only exception is if you are paper training and the dog misses the paper by a wide margin. You then have to discipline, take him to the paper, and then turn and clean up. Even in this instance, try to turn your back to him and make the clean-up swift. 8. After thirty minutes, let the dog have some freedom and be friendly to him, but not overbearing. Don't try to make up your guilt over disciplining your dog by coddling him at this point. You did what was proper and what his own mother would have done if confronted with such a situation. The correction has been made and the episode is over. This should be your attitude. Any extremes of overbearing or continued nagging will just confuse your dog. |
