Whether Iâm being a nice Daddy or a mean Daddy, thereâll always be a moment where you feel like this, soupspoon. Wanted, protected, and cared for and about.
Nice Daddyâs easy to explain. Iâm always going to want you to feel good. Good about yourself. Good about me. Good about us! Mean Daddyâs actually pretty easy to explain too: no matter how rough we play I still always want you to feel good. Good about yourself. Good about me. Good about us!
If your puppy starts nipping at you itâs important to quickly (but correctly) establish that this is not OK.
For example, if youâre playing with your puppy and they nip at your hand, calmly make a neutral noise, like âoops,â and immediately stop playing and ignore your pup until they are no longer in a nipping or overly excited mood. Once theyâve settled, give them praise and a treat if you have one nearby. This will show your puppy that biting means playtime is over and will only resume when theyâre calm. It shouldnât take long for your puppy to figure out that itâs better to be calm and gentle so they can continue to play with you, the most awesome thing on the planet, as far as theyâre concerned. – Randomly selected advice from the internet…
Yeah, yeah, âspanking is punishment.â Except who wants to do it to someone who doesnât actually, you know, like it? Or who demonstrates it. By throwing themselves into your lap with their britches already halfway across the room and going âwhat a day, huh, glad youâre home.â
I dunno. If you want a real Daddy punishment itâll probably be a long, involved talk about dispute resolution and impact of actions and inactions and blah de blah de blah. Neither of us would enjoy that!
