A bad dog owner abuses pets.
Now, understand, I'm not a "dog whisperer" but it just seems to me that you should retrain it using . . . say. . . a ball.
Isn't it funny how dogs have a time piece in their heads. Our dog, Juneau, has two "timed" moments involving me. The first is that she knows when it's time that I eat dinner and that when I do, I give her little bits of chicken That's when the first alarm clock goes off and when the time comes around, she starts pestering me. . . looking up at me and saying "aren't you going to eat now." LOL
Her second "moment" is at 9:30 p.m., exactly to the second, Strange as it may sound, at that moment it's time for her to go into her crate for the night because she gets a treat when she gets in. Strange that at that moment, she WANTS to get locked up for the night. So she's pretty much saying 'LOCK ME UP. . .LOCK ME UP" Go figure.
