sambo123 587 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 There's no need to crack a pup for anything, no wonder it's timid. 'Shall i get rid and get another' You hav'nt got a clue mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diggerman 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sounds to me as if the pup has no confidence, bit unusual with terriers its usually over confidence they suffer from. Anyway to build confidence play with the pup but let it win every time, this might regain its confidence and dont hit it again in a hurry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shadowgames 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Terriers are a confidence dog, work slow with the little one, I have one line of dogs I can't even yell at or they become no good for the rest of their lives from what I was told by a older man in the line, you have to discpline in a very lady like manner to get them to understand some of them and others can take the punishment with no prob, even though these dogs are rough, they are babies on the inside because they worship their masters so much, I have a friends that are heavy into patterdales and some of them don't come around to full terrier status until a year old, booth lines but when they do watch out. Some just mature later mentally, I have one dog that 2 years old still hasn't matured mentally but he is coming around fine then had others from a different but similar cross that are ready at 6 months. Take your time brother. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDFrain 1 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 dont crack the dog mate, think of it being a little child, when it does wrong use a firm voice saying NO, and when it does right praise it for doing good, that goes a long way for a pup, keep putting the pup outside and stay with it until it pee's and give it plenty praise. pups tend to need to pee at least every hour or so. So should keep you busy. It is easy to get a bit aggrivated with dogs doing wrong but thats all part off owning them. eventually they will tell you what they want and when they want it.

TRUE SAXON 108 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 If the pup is still young just build its confidence back up by playing with it get on floor so you are at its level and let it climbed over you its confidence will soon come back and it will stop pissin when you go near it if it is older now you may now have a timed dog for life Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy36 0 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 you chose a harsh way to teach your dog. why didn't you rub his nose in the amonia ridden urine and ruin its sense of smell while you at it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
