How to train husband?

shan841 · 01-23-2012, 05:00 PM

So my husband loves to tickle banjo's belly and encourages banjo to grab his arm and kick/bite.
I told him to stop instigating and pull his hand away when he does this, since banjo is going to get much bigger and stronger and it might not be fun for unsuspecting guests.
Well, he still does it and thinks its funny. Should I spray my husband with a water bottle? Or maybe just a swift smack to the back of the head?
Any advice appreciated. Thx

Rolled up newspaper to the bridge of the nose.

what about locking him in the bathroom for a timeout whenever he does that?

I returned my to the shelter. I just couldn't bond with him.

I dropped mine off in a big field. Thank goodness he wasn't microchipped!

Well I like the idea of returning to the shelter, however if you've already bonded then a swift smack to the back of the head AND a spray bottle could work lol.

Good luck, husbands are harder to train than cats, dogs and two year olds combined lol.
