Growling when disturbed

Please please please do not use insect repellent.

I have followed the training tips I posted to you with both of my labs and not one piece of my furniture has been chewed on. Ever. And I leave at least one dog out freely in my home while I'm out of the house. If you teach them, they learn. If you provide them with what they need, they won't even think about doing it.

You can do this! Practice and patience.

Yes. With practice Latte is learning. The only problem was me picking up her with force. With redirecting and commands, Latte, with a little hesitation, stops the inappropriate chewing. I don't need any sprays or lotions for now.

I didn't know what DEET is. OMG. It's shocking. But I guess TuMicks mentioned that dogs will never lick it. However I think it's something that no one can risk.

Never say never.

Dogs eat poop. They eat roadkill left on the side of the road. They're gross. Like you said, you cannot risk it.

This is also a good time to mention that listening to advice from someone on the net is not always a good idea.

Dogs eat poop.

And Latte is living for poop
