I'm not saying it doesn't work, I just choose not to do things that way. there are many different training methods, as you'll see on this board.
she's probably a very smart little dog, she just needs time and lots of practice to learn her manners. all pups do!

What I meant was if everyone else has used and accepted that method. Like in a previous post where someone was talking about putting their puppy's face in its mess to teach it a lesson - that's cruel and VERY out of date. I don't want to damage my puppy in any way, or make her distrust me. The "muzzling" method seemed a little harsh, but since the verbal command hasn't worked, maybe that one will. Just getting some opinions is all.
Thanks for your help!!
