Time outs starting to work

Post by Wicket »

I've been instituting the time outs with the girls whenever they bully one another (plus more exercise/mental stimulation and management), it seems to be working well with Maggie. For some reason, she was more hyper-vigilant today and needed about six time outs, but her bullying isn't as intense and once I give the NRM (ah-ah), she stops immediately and goes to find another toy by herself or looks to me to redirect her. So I think she's starting to understand that her extreme resource guarding has consequences. :)
