They were all new to me and I am on the way to get the Rescue Remedy today (I have some for myself that I have been using to survive). I also appreciate all the advice from others. We have been through private puppy school, and when we had a special session to determine why she absolutely fucking loses it when I get out the broom, rake, shovel, mop or vacuum he said she may be the most stubborn dog he has seen in 25 years of dog training. Yeah.<br />There are good days in with the bad. She is sweet as well as horrible. I am hoping to manifest a thanksgiving where she does not break any hips on my elderly guests or eat the turkey or ham before the dinner. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and come back with really great stories as usual!!<br />Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336647207100402772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-90440368595409174022012-11-19T15:36:08.726-06:002012-11-19T15:36:08.726-06:00I've always been a vodka girl...but beyond tha...I've always been a vodka girl...but beyond that you gave great advice. Put the stuff away. Chewing - put cayenne pepper on everything with legs... then watch them sneeze. <br /><br />The really hard part is exercise. If I remember correctly we were doing 30 - an hour twice a day EVERY SINGLE DAY. <br /><br />The barking is a beating, but get a spray bottle of water and spray the crap out her when she barks OR you can get a can (probably beer from the massive amt of drinking dog ownership requires) fill it with pennies and shake the crap out of it when she does something you don't like. You have to say NO and then shake the can. It requires a weird time of coordination to get the timing right, but the no has to come first. <br /><br />Dogs are pack animals. YOU are the pack leader. Say that to yourself constantly. And be prepared to totally focus on dog training every waking minute for at least 2 months... seriously, they start to get it after that. <br /><br />And drink. A lot. No getting around that part. <br />itsjustmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444211205683312967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-68264810816366107782012-11-19T14:21:29.477-06:002012-11-19T14:21:29.477-06:00I like my wine dry and un-sweet.
