Hello,
I have a question about disciplining my dog. We have a new puppy in the house and I have noticed that my 14month shepherd mix hasnt been listining as well as she used to. Tonight she decided to bring back her old game of "catch me if you can". She hasnt done this for awhile (4-6 months). She usu. will come back to me as soon as I call her (for the most part). This game went on for about 10min, until my roomate let the puppy out the house and then she came running back. I tried to approach her and she dogded me and tried to continue playin with the puppy (both off leash). She easily got sidetracked and I was able to grab her. I yelled at her and pulled her inside and put her in the crate. My 2 questions are:
1. From previous experiences I have never yelled/disciplined her when she would play "catch me if you can", unless I was able to sneak uip and grab her as she was tryin to run away. If she would run for 10min and then eventually come to me when I called her I would only praise, as to not have her think I am mad at her for coming. In tonights episode was I correct for disciplining her when she ran to play with the puppy. When I walked back over to her and the puppy I wasnt going to, but she tried to run away from me again and the only way I was able to get her was to sneak up on her. Was I right or wrong for yelling at her?? And are there any other ways to discipline this behavior??
2. On saturday I ran to the store real quick and left her out of her crate and she got in the trash, I caught her red handed and she ran away from the trash and tucked her tail (she def knew she was wrong). I have neveer done this before but sat. and tonight I yelled at her tapped her on the nose and then put her in her crate. My question is if it is a bad idea to put her in her crate as a form of punishment??
THANKS ALOT!!!
