day one of dogs off furniture

[Magz]

I have never really allowed sheila on the furniture unless she has been ill, but we allowed it with Kiera from day one. Today is the day I have put my foot down with my family that we need to reclaim our home before sheila forgets the rules and before Kiera gets any older. Ohh the joys, kiera isn't having any of it the little madam. if anything it will burn up her energy and ours

[Cassandra]

Oh good luck Margaret!

Its best to do it now when you can wear them out, rather than when she is older and a bigger madam lol

Its my fault I listened to hubby, he is just a pada one learner as far as dogs are concerned, but he is now actually listening to me, I am not just training a pup but an adult and 2 kids at the same time. hmm wonder if you get prong collars in human form

[marcella]

if it's for humans I'd go for an electronic collar instead of a prong!

no those marks were where my fingernails got stuck when I tried to wring his neck

keep at it Margaret it's worth it in the end as the dogs know their place in the home.

Ok I may go with this too Allan says he thinks Pixel thinks she is higher than me in the pack as she is always on the couch next to him, I am always on the computer chair. I dont think we have problems with them but i may be wrong

[marcella]

oh try telling Pixel off .............. you'll cry when she gives you her sad look!

[Magz]

I will be coming to the walk minus pupster and hubby will need to set up camcorder to spy on him to make sure he is doing what he is told.

day two and Sheila is back to normal Knows her place on the floor. still working on kiera think this process will be long drawn out with her, why oh why did I not put my foot down with hubby. so hard as she is too blooming cute and she knows it.

[John Thomson]

If you are clear and above all 100% consistent you will sort this quickly...if you relent 1 time in every 100..........Kiera will always wonder.....is the next time I go up going to be the one I get to stay up? And them chance it!
