48. TRAINING - Kopi is slapped when eating poop
Friday Jan 12, 2007
Rachael's mother spoke about Kopi eating poop yesterday. When she caught him doing it, she said "No," and slapped lightly Kopi's cheek. Kopi dared not eat poop in front of her.
Would this method of negative reinforcement be successful. I need to follow up. A chihuahua at 6 months may be in the 2nd fear imprint stage. So, it is easier to train as Kopi remembers unpleasant experiencs. Much time needs to be spend in training.
When I asked the previous owner, Kopi did not eat his own stools. He had 2 other puppies to play with. Here, he was alone in his crate when his owners are busy.
Kopi seemed to be obedient. When the mother said, "Sit there", he would not move.
Catching the puppy misbehaving is the best way to train him.
