Have a 9 week old which is part angel/part devil...love it, just got it three days ago. What are the best ways to train the dog regarding negative behaviors?
I understand verbal redirection, ignoring, or crating when dog does not correct. I also understand muzzling with the hand and saying no or ouch when biting get too much.
Has anyone placed a vizsla puppy into a submitting position for extreme behaviors or when dog is super hyper? On its side with hand on back of neck like a dominant mother would do... Or would crating be best when dog becomes too hyper or does not correct?
Also has anyone used coins in a soup can and shaken to correct behavior?
FYI The more puppy exercise the better, our girl sleeps through the night in its crate in our bedroom without having to go to bathroom, even when offered. No food or water after 7pm and allow a few potty breaks to relieve before bedtime with last being 10:45pm. 10:45pm to 5:15am without any issues. Once up though they will go very quickly so beware .
