Rob, I like that tip about the dramatic exit stage left.
I like it too, in theory. The problem is that consistancy and timing are already hard enough for many people to get the hang of, and so I would imagine it would be even harder for those people to immediately drop whatever they're doing and storm off at the right moment. It's a good first line of defense, though, and with pups that are quick learners (and velcro) it might make an effective impression.
Speaking of consistancy, one of the reason I see the "knock it off" trick being ineffective for many of my clients is because they do it once, for a half a second, let the pup go, he does it again and then they give up. The idea is to do it until the pup settles down and I think some people miss that. Some pups are just harder-headed than others and are basically thinking, "Enough about me. What about you...what do YOU think of me?"
