[QUOTE="donna723, post: 296258, member: 1883"] I've heard of that 'scruff of the neck' thing and have even used it on Ragan a few times when she was younger and smaller. It really works if you have a smaller dog, or even with a bigger dog if you grab them that way ... you don't have to lift them all the way up off the floor and it doesn't hurt them a bit. It works because that's what their mothers used to do to them back when they were little and submissive. It's funny but I've had grown male dogs who were twice the size of their mothers, but still were submissive to and a little afraid of the mother dog! You don't mess with "MOM"! Too bad human kids don't see it this way! [/QUOTE]
