Re: [RC] Spooking and punishment - Ed & Wendy Hauser
My feeling is that the invasion of space (which is
dangerous, obviously) trumps the spook. The rebuke should be instant,
effective and short. A whip of the lead rope at his nose, a quick slap
with a whip carried in the other hand can be used. Getting mad usually
results in a punishment that instead of lasting < 1 second, lasts > 30
seconds. After he no longer spooks into you, you can start on a program
designed to despook, but not before.
