Time Outs for naughty rabbits

[Paddy Ohara]

Paddy O'Hara was a year old in March. She is usually pretty good but her nickname is trouble or trouble starter. She responds really well to loud noises, stop it, or NO. What I can't seem to break is that she likes to mark in the dogs's favorite places so I decided to trygivingtime outs. They work for the most part but still she marks but not as much as before.I introduced her to time outs about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Now when I make one of the sounds that means to stop it...she gives herself a time out. She runs to her room and stays there for 5-10 minutes depending upon how much trouble she thinks she is in. It is super funny but it seems to be working somewhat.

That is hilarious! If only it was that easy with kids!

Does she foot flick you as she runs? Fraggles also runs to her room but we get foot flicked the whole way. Its actually kinda funny.

She probably would foot flick, she has done this before in her bedroom where the carpet is. The rest of the house is bamboo flooring so she slips a lot and makes lots of noise. It sounds like a heard taking off down the hallway.
