How to train with rolled up newspapers
Featured on “Dog Talk” -authors John Ross and Barbara McKinney
A rolled up newspaper can be an effective training tool when used properly. For instance, use the rolled-up newspaper if your dog chews something or has a housebreaking accident. Take the rolled-up newspaper and hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase, "I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG, I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG." If your dog laughs at you when you do this, praise him.
I found the link to the above gem over on Pet Connection.com yesterday. Gina has a brand new rescue dog who ate a peice of an old couch and a reader posted the link in agreement with her that the "incident" was her fault.
Growing up, my Dad used a rolled up newspaper on our dogs nose for chewing and housebreaking accidents.
We now know that the dogs of our youth learned many lessons in spite of, not because of our out dated training methods.

You gotta be careful how you start your articles there. My feed reader cut the 'summary' version of this entry off right after 'housebreaking accident' and I almost dumped your feed right there!
Glad I followed to read the rest though. Very funny.

Thanks for the tip! I did realize it would feed that way to my email subscribers but they all know I am a postive trainer. I didn't even think about "feeds". Guess I need to "bone up" on these internets. :))))

Nice pic Nancy, you haven't changed a bit! (Well, OK. Maybe just a little!)
