Gavin Foley Webboard User Reg: 01-03-2006 Posts: 39 Loc: Dublin, Ireland Offline	On the leerburg website i read when you want to let the dog know what she did was wrong or whatever, you should grab it by the scruff of the neck. Can someone please clarify this for me. Is it the actuall neck or just the skin on the back of the neck. And how hard do you actually shake the dog Cheers Gav xxx If you dont know me, dont judge me.

You could also keep that in mind when deciding how hard to do it. Of course, that all depends on the age and nature of offense. On a very young pup, I'd avoid anything harsher than its mother would do. On an older, defiant of aggressive dog, of course you'd need to take it up a few notches. The experts could give you more exact direction, but here's a quick answer.

Read the link above. Ed has written a great article which includes his current feelings about the neck scruff correction. This is a must read as it contains loads of usefull information.

Now im not doing it to hard because i am barely holding her but i really cant be cruel to this pup and me holding her like that feels cruel. especially when she crys out the way she does. Cheers Gav xxx If you dont know me, dont judge me.
