I LOVED those books. I haven't loved anything else she's written though. Oh that makes me want to read them again!!<BR/><BR/>Do you watch the dog whisperer? We found it really helpful with our dogs, we managed to get them to stop barking at people outside the windows using some of the stuff that Cesar teaches. It's pretty incredible, really.<BR/><BR/>Shawl is gorgeous!

Then praise the bejabbers out of her. (This works great with kids, too.)<BR/><BR/>I have a lovely, gentle, submissive dog, Truffles, who came to us 7 years ago hand-shy and with fear issues. Her pupils would expand and she would get this crazed look.<BR/><BR/>My interpretation was that she had come a little late when called as a puppy and then gotten the surprise beating for obedience. She learned! She was never gonna do <I>that</I> again!<BR/><BR/>I never touch her to discipline her. My other dog, who outweighs her by over 60 lbs, I can scruff-shake or muzzle-shake, but with Truffs it's all tone of voice.<BR/><BR/>My favorite is the incredulous, what-on-earth do you think you're DO-ing?!!! tone.<BR/><BR/>Sorry!

But that's three now, by my count, so she should be done with bad events for a while? <BR/><BR/>The shawl is absolutely beautiful. Did you get it back from Older Daughter?<BR/><BR/>Okay, time to do some grading.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025212419444729424noreply@blogger.com
