she got the idea just by hearing a strong NO but indeed some dogs
don't. I'm blessed with two wonderful well behaved companions but
I'll keep your advice in mind, you never know when a rebelion could
happen!!

a "hold down" as its too alpha for harmony in the pack (and since
you are the leader!) if she were mine I'd hold her down
immediately. .meaning laying her (gently ofcourse!) on her back and
holding her down for five minutes or so, at the least until she
gives in (that is deep breath, lying still) Its hard to do with the
wriggling and whining and dirty looks or pitiful faces but IMO its
SOOOO important to show this dominance.

praise and patience and sometimes he still likes to gently bite my
hand to show me his dismay. I never leave him alone with it on as I
fear him getting tangled up in it and hurting himself. Though he is
a little houdini in the car under his blanket and often gets a paw
or two out of it.

neither should we and a sweater in zero degrees is a necessary evil
