Coco Training Tips

January 10th, 2012

1)  Leash and collar (Snap & Release leash)

2)  Empty Soda Can with 15-20 pennies or

3)  Water Gun method- For chewing on carpet/ shoes- (keep shoes/ slippers near me and squirt her)

4)  Bitter Apple also- for chewing issues

5)  If jumps, say, "OFF"

6)  If I server her people food, dont' serve off of my plate

7)  During times I'm not able to play or give her attention, need to confine her (don't let her earn her freedom)

8)  Get 6" thin leash

1)  Say NO when near a dog; and pull on leash but not so close to her; should be a bit farther away.  Say NO really loud, and then pet her when she stops barking

2)  Say "SIT", "COME", "SIT" (again), and then give her a treat

3)  If I'm eating and she wants to eat, then put my plate down , walk towards her and say NO.  Keep doing repeatedly

4)  Don't put any pads in the house, have her go in the pad outside the balcony

5)  Try to teach , as opposed to "preventative measures", eg. put her in the balcony when I'm eating food, or take her for a walk downstairs.

6) Two ways to walk with her.  One is "Heel" where she walks next to me, and another where she is free to roam around- Need more input here.
