my puppy is just a load of trouble today she got into her treat box and ate everything, i was really angry cause she was starving herself from eating her normal food and gave up and was starting to eat, UNtiL the treat box tradgedy. i forgot to tke it out of her reach so yeah yeah blah blah its my fault. now she is STUFFED with treats and won't eat her normal food even more!!!! i was so mad i hit her a lot when i caught her (never touched those box of treats again). i know hitting is wrong, but tapping and nooo's! don't work for her! once she ate some bark and when i tried to take it out of her muth she clamped her jaws shut, ran away and swallowed (another problem). i caught her (didn't call) as soon as i cuold and tapped her nose and said no firmly. she didn't even notice the tap and ignored my no and walked away. i tried the "proper dicipline" and it DIDNT WORK. she still eats bark and ignores da tapping and no's. i also tried the crate trick but it had the same lame result (can't even take crates on walks)and what is so wrong about hitting?!. is there a better WORKING way to disipline my pup? or is hitting the only way?
