OK, I have a little delima... My little Bailey girl is just a piece of work, She walks on the leash pretty well and she wears a harness not a collar because she is so small and I dont want to put a strain on her neck. But sometimes when we are walking if she dosnt want to walk where we are walking or she sees that we are going back home she will plant her feet and just stare at me. As if to say MOMMMY I AM NOT GOING THERE! Shes really tiny so of course I can just pick her up and take her where I want but i have been doing this, along with scolding her but she just isnt getting the message... She still does it all the time! She thinks shes the boss! I know I probably should have been firmer with her when she was a pup and made her learn some basic obediance but its so hard when they are so little and cute to punish them... now she is 10 months old and thinks shes the boss! Any suggestions on how to break this?
