[nagdu] Doggie Paws

Sat Apr 21 06:11:28 UTC 2012

Find out where he sits and go step on his foot hard. Does your dog make a 
noise when she is stepped on? This may not be a good idea, but maybe you 
could train her to make some kind of noise when she gets stepped on. If she 
makes enough of a disturbance when she gets stepped on, maybe it will stop 
because people will start policing each other. If you step on Lexia, and she 
does not like it, she lets you know quite vocally.
