you have to keep him on his back until he gives in and stops squirming. and it's all about being consistent. do it every time over and over again, the problem won't correct itself in a day and maybe not in a week, he's a puppy and needs to be reminded and eventually he'll get the hint. also start working on training him, sit stay ect. that helps bond and also develop the alpha role that you must have over him.

If you are having this problem when you trun him over on his back still, what you need to try is when you flip him to his back take your index finger and middle finger and place them around his neck as if to pin him down not choke him its hard to explain let me show you a picture:

As you can see Rasta hates it :lol: :lol: LOL
This way you are showing them you are not playing. They will have plenty of room to wiggle, but they get the hint you are the alpha

I haven't mentioned what I did that finally worked because I was afraid someone might misunderstand and do it and kill a tiny little 2 pound baby chi. But, with KJ's picture I think I can say it now. I do my 2 fingers the same way, but sometimes I did it from behind his neck/shoulders. Then I would GENTLY shake and growl my meanest growl. This stopped him almost immediately. I read about this in a book.
Please please please if you're gonna do this make sure you get the word GENTLY and when I say shake I mean I just wiggled my fingers back and forth 2 or 3 times. You can't do something like that to a little one with a soft spot, no shaking - no mater how gentle. My boy is almost 8 pounds and the soft spot is gone.
Now, I don't even have to touch him if he's being bad in any way at all I just growl my alpha growl. My husband laughs his butt off, but it works on Frasier. He stops doing whatever he was doing and comes to lick my hand or face to say sorry.

the growling at him, but my hands are real small so i just put my head on the back of his neck and he would submit.anyone ever hear of a gentle leader??? it's like a horse harness that is worn across the dogs nose and top of the neck. well it works so well (i've seen 6 dogs who were unwalkable ona leash get trained to walk on a lead using this thing) and the reason it works is when dogs are puppies (and wolves do this in the wild as well) when they do something worng the mother grabs the back of their neck or she presses down on their muzzle towards their chest, and the gentle leader mimicks this. they recomend when you are training in the house to use the gentle leader on them it's safe to use with supervision and i'm not sure about behavioral problems (i ahven't seen it used fro that just lead training) but it's worth a try if you are having a lot of problems with your puppy to look into it.
I totally agree with Frasier's Mommy GENTLY is the key word. And it does work wonders Both sides work really well from the back or the front.
