The worst puppy in puppy school.

So typically our little girl is pretty good. But as of lately, she has learned she can growl... and growl she does... especially at puppy school!

All of the puppies have play time... but if they growl or bite or anything bad, they have to be put in time out. Our little girl spent 2 weeks having timeout during most of her playtime. This week, slightly different... She got the water bottle!

Our puppy school teacher whipped out a water bottle filled with 25% vinegar & the rest water. Just enough vinegar that she won't like the smell. We don't spray her in the face, or on her body or anything (don't get freaked out!) but we spray a light mist over top of her. So she can put together the sour taste of vinegar with the sour behaviour she demonstrates.

We have also learned that this spray bottle is another technique in getting her to stop jumping when people come in the door.

Oh man! Lets hope this works.... her growls and jumps have got to stop!

Anyone else have this problem with their puppies?
