Honest opinion Licky treat & Thimble … ??
OK… so I have to ask… what are others feeling on this issue…. When offering licky treats to use a thimble… so that when they do ‘bite / strike’ … they learn that it does not do any good…
The reason I ask is that when I got the twins… Surge was a lunger and a biter … every time… and I did use this method… along with a lot of other bonding techniques… and he did turn 180 degrees and became a lover… I have thought about offing this as a suggestion in ‘special’ cases… but wanted to get the wisdom of the board and their opinions on this idea…
PLEASE keep this within board rules… I know I have opened myself up here, and if it is not within board rules but you feel you need to express yourself please PM me directly… I am a big boy and can take it … as always… thanks for the input…
