Not having English telly for six years, I'm still a bit enthralled with programmes at the push of a button and gave 'Supernanny' a go tonight. I've never watched it before and it crossed my mind that the theories might help with training an unruly puppy.

Clio has run riot for over three weeks now and a smacked bum doesn't seem to be working. I thought I'd give this 'naughty spot' a go, after all if it works with kids..............

Every time she misbehaved I put her on some newspaper and told her to sit. When she moved I put her back. It didn't take too long for her to realise what the routine was and she sat and stayed.

Would you believe that within two hours she knows how to sit and stay, knows her name and is now fast asleep in her own bed?
