I am having an issue with my puppy ripping up the pee padding inside of the pup pee poo palace. I mean it's ripped to shreds. we have told him NO! or AH AH! while clapping our hands to make him stop. he looks startled but then he starts up again. I was thinking about giving him a pluck on his nose to be another force of reprimand for this act. it's getting out of control at this point. I have explained to my boyfriend that we must stop this behavior NOW and not think that he will grow out of it (he's already 9 weeks!) I even thought of getting a spray bottle and spraying him with it if we see him doing it (we have given him toys used immediate reinforcement when we plays with them instead) maybe even a can of coins to shake so he can be annoyed by the sound?? I read the last response to this question that I presented but I wasn't really following the response so I wanted to be more specific on what I was asking. thank you you soo muchCategory: Training Tips
You are on the right track except everything you are trying requires you be there. If he is doing well with potty training it may be time to give him a little more space as it is boredom that prompts his behavior.
