Give him something, tell him to drop it and immediately reward him w / a treat. It will soon file associated w / a reward and not punishment.
Question:
Place something without being a little scared? Basically, it was a little out of control when he was to go pick out things and run like crazy, we have tried everything and he would not listen, then we are went for a good old method using a spray bottle, and to my amazement, it worked, we had to squirt a couple of times before he got the hang of it, but now every time that I say to drop, it does, but not in a way happy, his tail goes down and it seems to be run inside or on foot. I congratulate the fall, but I do not want him to be afraid. we do not need more of the bottle but I think it still associates the word with a spray / bottle. It is about 6 ½ months, and it is a cocker x cavalier. suggestions?
