When I tell arch to stop doing something and he does I say "good boy" all happy and excited and he always looks at me and grins from ear to ear!
I know some people say that you should ignore bad behaviour, but what about when you dogs doing something danagours to itself or others.
Arch can be a terror for grapping at my trouser legs, if I say anything he would trip me up, like wise when we hadn't had him long my dad was sharping knives in the kitchen - he jumped at them! scared the hell out of us - he soon learned "no" and "off" though
