Re: 21 week old growling and lunging

Thanks for your inputs. I'm going to try doing longer walks to try to get her tired out and stimulated. I talked to the trainer comming to my house this weekend and he suggested a shaker can (soda can with some pennies) to shake when she is acting improperly and it seems to work she stops what she is doing and sits nicely and quiet but i dont like it because it seems to send her cowering. Does anyone else use a shaker can or does anyone reccomend i not use the shaker can and can suggest another tactic.

I took her to the dog park today and she walks up and plays with the biggest dogs in the park and stopped complying with the come command and i know that theres alot of distractions but she even lost all her leash manners. Should i be taking her there and keeping her on the leash until she walks nice and then reward her with some off leash play time or should i bring my 30 foot leash and make sure she complies with my recall and other commands b4 giving her off leash play time?
