Just when we get one thing corrected, another crops up! He is only 4 months old. We start "basic training" classes on Monday. One thing that we do have success with is the spray bottle with vinegar and water. He hates it, so all we have to do is pick it up and say "off!" and he calms down. We have read that we should say "off!" instead of "down", as "down" should be used when you want them to lie down in the submissive position (yet another thing we need to master!).He has also taken to nipping at our heels as we go upstairs (where he is not allowed), which really hurts and must stop!
