Sorry I answer this late. Buzy with the end of school. There are many ways to punish a dog. Hitting is not the right way. I punish my dog by saying no or bad on a firm tone, ignore him for a while or take something away. Depends on what he does or whu he does it. When he acts well I cuddle him or give him a treath. --- On Sun, 6/26/11, blanchew <[email protected]> wrote:

Like you would a far bigger dog. Hold him to the ground till he calms down. That is what trainers have told us to do with large dogs but he is so small we just hold him to our chest until he calms down. Is that the right thing to do?
