So, now that we all know that a certain woman is on my brother's 'Not Loved' list...

Does anyone know someone who'd be willing to come over and help train our puppy? She's a good girl, but she's chewing everything up. We've bought her toys to chew, but she ignores them.

I am running out of socks. Daily. So, we need help.

I've trained my own dog to be pretty obedient, though it's not that hard if you already know good disciplinary and reward tactics. The hot sauce thing is a pretty good idea, and I could teach you methods I use. I think recognizing when they do something good is just as important as when they do something wrong.

...It might also help that I communicate to my dog through the Force. If you want, I could try to do the same with your puppy? It'd just be an impression of when she's doing something wrong and why. I do it with my puppy all the time.

	You're absolutely right. I do give her plenty of praise for her good actions, but she's obsessed with socks. You're more than welcome to try, though if you'd like. I'd never even thought to ask Jacen to come over and give that a try, to talk to her with the Force. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think some dogs latch onto one thing they love. Too bad about all your socks. They do have books and tapes and all sorts of stuff to help train your dog if nothing else works.

Oh, you know Jacen? He's like the animal guru, I hear. But I can still come over if you want and try.

Has she been around many other dogs? She could've picked up bad behavior from another dog. Alternatively, if you let her spend time with well-trained dogs, she may pick up on better behavior.
