She is signed up for obedience classes but they dont start until the first week of August, by the way. |
That is great news. You never want to spank or yell. Kacee has been lectured (and she knew it when I was potty training her) but I have never and will never yell at her or spank her. I can hold out my arms and tell her in the biggest voice I have that I love her and she'll run into my arms. That is the kind of relationship you want to build with yours and I think you will make it.
