Behavior problem

gina1014 · Feb 12, 2016

My frenchie loves to watch TV, however he jumps, barks, chases and has now come to the point where we cannot watch TV if there is any type of animal on the TV. Not only is this annoying, but there may come a point where he knocks the TV over, he has managed to jump up high enough that he has scratched the entertainment center.

I was thinking now that he is 3 years old of possibly getting a collar not to shock but to vibrate or deter him from doing this?

Any thoughts?

I would put him on a leash and correct him when he does it. Then I would give him an obedience command to to and praise him when he does it, and/ or play with a favorite toy with him and praise him.

I clap my hands and tell him no and that quiets him down.

Stella does this sometimes too. Fortunately she could never reach the tv. We tell her to leave it and she snaps out of it. It's usually pent up energy that she wants to release so a lot of times I will redirect her with a game of fetch while sitting on the couch. Remember dogs can't do two things at once. Good luck.

Definitely tell him NO, and if that doesn't work, put him on a leash and correct him any time he does that. It won't take long to figure it out.

Are you using 'Nothing in life is free'.... that in conjunction with the leash will definitely work, but will take lots of time and consistency.
