: 4 years old and such a whiner
: aggghgmom January 25, 2006, 03:43:22 PM
I think I posted about this before but it is getting over whelming - Harley my 4 year old Flat Coat whines...all the time.  When I leave and the family is home with him he sits by the door and cries for hours!!  Last night when I got home from a relaxing dinner with friends I thought my husbands heart was going to explode he was so annoyed with Harley.  He also whines when I'm home if he wants a treat or needs water or wants to go out and search for squirrels.

I spoke to the trainer we used when he was younger and she suggestes a collar (which we borrowed when he ate poop) it is not a shock collar it is a vibration collar I have tried it on myself it feels like a hand buzzer.  I am supposed to tell him quiet and then hit the button - I hate to do this but it is overwhelming!!!

Any other suggestions?  Before I have to zap him???

Thanks
Randy
