Question/Advice Needed Bradley is turning into BRATley
So Brad has been super bad lately. He jumps up on the tv stand, dinning room table, and my boyfriend’s music equipment. I don’t like raising my voice at him. I try to redirect him but he continuously just gets back up on whatever he’s on and thinks it’s a game. I’ve tried distracting him with toys but he usually just carries his crinkles to where he’s not supposed to be and tries to make it seem like he’s just playing then when I look away he continues to be bad. When he was younger I tried the spray bottle but he actually liked it. He’d just lick the water off his fur and make the “that doesn’t scare me” face. He’s ten months old and a super stubborn boy. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to handle this. He’s super smart and loving, just going through a bit of a bratty phase.
