Hi,
Thanks so much for all of these resources.... I'll check them out and with any luck, they'll work.
To clarify, I was told to hold the dog down near the scruff of his neck, because this is what supposedly what his mother would do to stop him in his tracks! However, this is difficult to do since I'm a 110 lb female, and he's 60lbs strong!
The time out that I gave him tonight after he behaved so badly was in the bathroom with the light off for 20mins. The time out that I give him at the park when he barks incessantly, is 5-10 mins in little double gated entrance to the dog park.
Admittedly, I spoiled him quite a bit when he was sick, and now he's really demanding. I can't even leave him tied on leash for a few seconds without him making a HUGE scene. It's embarassing and frustrating.
I've signed up for more training lessons, but they may not allow him to attend the classes if he acts up.
Funny, he's sleeping like an angel now....
Sigh. :?
