Shooting Dogs

by Smockity Frocks on March 9, 2010

Do you have a problem with dogs begging at the dinner table?

We don’t… anymore.  We used to have a particular problem, when we had a baby in a highchair, with our dogs rearing up and trying to steal food she had dropped in her seat.

Our solution?

Let the children take turns on guard with a Nerf gun.

Simple. Fun.

Works For Me!

I found my rubber band gun the other day. It might come in handy with teaching the cats what’s ok/not ok with the new baby.

Great idea! We tried a water gun, but that got a little messy, since our older son was not a very good shot.

I’m off to the toy shelf to find a Nerf gun! Thanks!

I just laughed hard when I read this post! It sure is a great idea! You do what works. It looks as if your daughter enjoyed it.

Humane animal cruelty. I love it. Does this work to curb the begging and drooling too? …does it work on kids?

this gave me quite the chuckle. My son just got a new nerf gun at the Walmart toy clearance sale and I fear if I showed him this post, he’d beg every day for a dog now, just to try it, lol.

I wonder if this will work for cats too…
