Wes and his "Dog Training Technique"

Sir Rupert is an amazing dog...when he isn't being exceptionally naughty. ...

He lays in your lap, He cuddles, He usually stays by you, and he doesn't beg for food.

However, you take him on a walk or let him roam the house too much and all hell breaks loose!

We took him to the park today (with our new picnic set--thanks Jadie) and we are sitting enjoying our lunch. We decide to let Rupert go chase some birds. About two seconds later he is walking over to some couple making out and he starts barking. This dog NEVER barks except every once in while he decides there is someone he doesn't like. Wes had to chase him down.

Then we got home and Wes was very upset about this event. So Wes took an empty pop can and put some coins in and duct tape on top. A little later we caught Rupert chewing on a pen. Wes chucks the can right in front of the dogs face and scares the CRAP out him. Rupert dashes into the kitchen to hide.

I am not sure how effective this will be but Wes swears by it. I wonder if that works with kids too! HA!
