Hi Riggan

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me by posting such a in depth and insightful response

I have already started using some of the methods you suggest and although this is definitely going to be a process, I can already see that your suggestions are going to be affective

I really appreciate the help

Hi alin

Thanks for your reply.

I would say that she is semi supervised when she is doing it. It’s definitely something that she is looking to do all the time and will take a gap if it’s there. I know that for a puppy to be semi supervised when out of her crate is not ideal but we have young kids and sometimes when she is out of her crate it’s simply not possible to have our full attention on her all the time

The bad habit is certainly being formed now and I would like to break it as soon as possible. Just to give you some context, She is a particularly attentive Great Dane and I have formed a wonderful relationship with her. It’s just this particular area that I am struggling with

Question. I am busy watching Robert’s course on e-collars. Do you think that it is too early to start using an e-collar to correct her when doing this, in order to break this type of behaviour early?

Look forward to hearing from you
