I am surprised the breeder suggested vinegar in the water, plain water I would of thought would be better if you have to use it. Vinegar would sting the eyes if you missed and got it near or in the eyes.
I still think for me personally the ignore or teach them to fetch a toy instead of using me is a better idea these are very sensitive dogs and take time to train it isn't done in a day or two. Ollie is just turned 21/2 and is now really coming into his own and its as if a light has switched on and he now knows what is expected of him.
We have just used patience and consistency with him as frustrating as it has been some days and I have felt like throwing in the towel.
Especially the stubbornness when wanting to go the other direction or not at all on walks.
