I used the tethering method on her for a couple hours so when she didnt want to go on her own where she was supposed to go, she didnt have a choice and got dragged. And i've had to pin her a couple times using her scruff which she was NOT happy about one bit. She screamed and hollared like i was killing her. Told her i wasnt falling for it and she just stopped all her carrying on. But after a couple times of her trying to "bite" me away and being pinned and me literally yelping like another dog would, she started to get the idea. And every time she would do it, she'd get a crate door closed time out for about 5 minutes. and we'd try again. Well the shaking and yelling mentioned above actually makes some sense to because if its a negative experience and loud at that, they're not real likely to do it again but they'll also forgive pretty quick only this time they know whats allowed and whats not. make sense? i'm tired so i may just be rambling.
