I agree with Lance..... also along with supervisions, teach your daughter to be the alpha of the pack... just a thought.... that maybe the dogs feel like they have to "protect" their pack, but they need to learn and know that their human is their leader. Does that make sense? I have a 5 year old daughter too... well, she' will be in a couple of days... and her saying "no" doesn't seem to get the dog's attention, but a quick and stern "un uh" with her standing tall with her hands on her hips helps.... may help you and your daughter, but don't leave her alone with both of the dogs..... for both of their safety. I'm sure others might have better suggestions/tips.
Oh, and have a water squirt bottle handy, that helps to correct the behavior.... not overnight... but squirt them when they are misbehaving at that moment, and say no. or un uh.... So when you see them act up, you can get them in the act with the squirt bottle..... in time, i'm sure you will see a difference or an improvement....
and I wanted to say thank you for coming in to ask for help.... and Let me tell you, i'm still learning everyday too.
and Welcome to the site... there are plenty of tips under the training forums, and if you can't find anything else, just post them in there and someone will offer tips and suggestions! |
