    my dog thinks I'm playing when his in trouble?
    my 1 & a half yr old male border collie x husky thinks I'm playing when I tell him off for doing something wrong, he bounces around & tries to play. Does anyone know how I can get him to see his bad behavior & no its not acceptable instead of tryign to play. (I do play with him a lot so its not like I never play with him). Thanks (:

    Try giving him a time out in a room or crate that he has nothing to play with.
    Don't swing your arms or make any movements that you make when you are playing
    Use a different more stern tone and keep your words simple like NO!
    Not ''Oh now you know that is a no-no''

    In a dog pack his behavior would be met with snarls or complete disinterest. Act like he doesn't exist and do not smile at him. His attempt to play with you is a request for you to ignore his bad behavior. Give him zero feedback after the "NO." Or do like Nohelp suggested.
