OMG! LMAO!

That is soooo funny!

That's gonna be a pain in the butt for awhile.

How in the world do you stop a dog from tearing up a screen on a door once they do it the very first time? What a game that now is!

My friend picked up an air canister from petco. You push the top and it shoots out a hiss of air. Not a fog horn type of noise you see used at football games - but a woosh of air - It works great. It's almost like someone yelling Shhhuuuush!

Some people see it as negative reinforcement. But man it worked. The dogs no longer bark when the doorbell rings and they don't rush the fence when people on bikes ride by. Now she can just make a similar noise herself without using the can. They immediately stop the behavior they are in.

For her dog Toby - who was like the mad humper, after a few uses, just setting it in his view - he has stopped humping everything in site.

I thought I might pick up a can myself. A shush shush here, a shush shush there, here a shush, there a shush, every where a shush shush?

Might just work on the screen killer?

Has anyone else used something like that.
