Naughty Chair - What to do?

[Calluna]

I would have said the same as ss-storm, but if thats not working you could go back after the initial time and explain that the undressing is not ok and because she did it she has to stay for another 30 seconds or whatever you think is reasonable.

Eta- probably better to have your conversation about the original issue then tackle the undressing otherwise she might get a bit confused.
So she misbehaves
goes to time out
undresses herself
time out finished
talk about behaviour
then talk about undressing
and do a second time out.
Hope that makes sense

I think I would ignore the undressing too. Just wait til time is up, do your cuddles & sorries, then redress her as if you didn't even notice.
When its warmer, it won't matter so much & she might forget all about it if she has hardly any clothes on to remove, lol.
Maybe put some felt or something under the chair legs too, so it doesn't scratch the floor

:yeahthat:

She is doing something she knows will get your attention, ignore the behaviour completely, and she will move on to something else. Ignore that too and eventually she will simply do what she is told.

The other thing, when she is apologisig, make sure she says what she is sorry for. Otherwise she will simply learn all she has to do is offer an empty sorry and not actually learn what behaviour it is that is the issue. So if she threw a toy, make sure she says "sorry for throwing the toy" or something similar if she can't say all the words yet lol
