Rocket is a very bad brother. He feels it necessary to practice his "art" on the girls as much as he can, and while Jeremy and I have done everything to discourage what he does, after about 10 seconds he'll go back to doing what he wants to do. His art includes:
1. Trying to drink pee. Gag.
2. Following girls around and keeping his nose in their butt while they are peeing. Yuck.
3. Sniffing every possibly spot a girl peed in the yard and trying to taste every spot.
4. (see a pattern emerging?)
5. When he wants satisfaction, he knows no bounds. This is the main reason he and Ruby have disagreements - she is clearly saying "eff off buddy" and he's saying "I do what I want."
6. I've noticed as he's gotten older than he will blow me off. I tell him to quit - it lasts ten seconds and he goes back to trying to do what he wants. I've tried everything I can think of - redirection, immediate time out in his crate, immediate "go lay down," grabbing his muzzle to get his attention...nothing works.
As a last resort and to reduce stress on the girls, I went to Bass Pro and got a shock collar. The evil person inside of me thought it'd be funny to see his face when he goes to sniff a butt obnoxiously and gets a mild correction - would he associate vajayjay with a shock? I sure hope so!
So I was a mean mom and set him up to fail. I let him outside with the girls, all wound up, to see what he would do. Somehow, he managed to foil me - everytime I told him to leave it and gave him the warning sound, he quit.
I'm sure he'll get a correction at some time, but it won't be tonight. I'll have to try tomorrow to see if he understands the warning sound already (how I don't know) or if he needs the correction on the lowest setting.
