| Tough love or not??
Roxy is 11 months old and well behaved for the most part. but she likes to do things that upset me, like pulling things from the bathroom trash. when she was younger, she knew better. now shes a teenager she tries me and her rules. sometimes when i get on to her she barks at me ..like talking back. i hate it and i get back at her even more. i growl and scold her in a deep voice (as deep as possible, i am a petite woman)until she turns away.
but many rotty owners and large dog owners have told me to punch her and spank her. i refuse to do it. but what can i do to make her realize i'm the leader of the pack? |
