The question is, are you or can't you be more interesting then the crap on the ground? I would do everything I could to avoid using any kind of force at this stage. The puppy has to learn to love doing what you want and using forceful methods does not make it fun for him. To me it sounds like he's trying to tell you that now. I would keep him on line and stop him before he gets to the item on the ground by redirecting him back to self. I would also try to be very positive vocally while I'm doing that so it seems fun. Your still in the relationship building stage with him and you have to give him a reason to love and respect you.

I am new to ecollars. I wanted to know if there was something I was missing. Although I've owned some pretty hard dogs this one is the toughest yet. I am very enthused with this pup overall. I think you all agree that training is a ongoing learning process. That why this forum is so great. Lee Sternberg
