The Evil Eye...
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2007 12:38 pm
Baby responds to my 'evil eye'... or am I a nut?
I dont use verbal responses to being a bad boy, like saying no or what-not. I usually seperate Baby from Peaches when he is being bad and that just kills him.
He equates being put on a different stand from Peaches as punishment. Great! Timeouts for these chickies 'aint' a bad thing. They will otherwise run all over you like a MAC truck.
Well, last week Baby wasnt being good about staying on his stand. This is COMPLETELY UNACEEPTABLE. I began picking him up and looking at him very mean and hateful then without words immediately placing him on his stand.
Its worked. He is now as good as ever about never getting off. He is trying me BAD now that he is mature. Exactly like a teen... no different at all or in the least.
Now, if he wont stop messing with Peaches (so rarely but I am doing test trials)... I look at him as hateful as I possibly can and he bows his little head, bless his heart. Then, he looks at me without those mean pin eyes but with those black mouse eyes and goes totally submissive.
Am I on to something or is this not good for any reason?
I know when he looks at me hateful, he now knows when I do it. Is this a good method of training or will it have negative results?
Im telling you... he KNOWS and goes into complete babyhood submission.
