Re: Need a little advice with running / nipping...

Our Genghis was doing the same thing. He is 17 weeks old now. We use an emty peanut can with some rocks in it. As soon as he acts up, We shake the can at him to get his attention. Then put him into a "sit". I usually then snap his leash on him and take him outside because when he acts up like this most of the time he has to "go potty". But if I know he doesn't have to go I will follow the "sit" command by "kennel up" and he will run to his kennel. I then treat him with praise and a dried liver which he only gets for going into his kennel. He loves those liver treats so he flies into that kennel. After a quick time out, mostly for me to find a toy to shove in his mouth, he gets to come out with us better prepared to deal with some redirection onto a toy.
