Lacey used to understand the word "punished". Sometimes I would get mad at her because she would be barking while I was on the phone or something. I would say "Lacey, go to your room now!" (her room being the laundry room) Her little head would go down and she would give me that sad little look on her face. But, she would go in her room most of the time. But, when I closed that door, she would throw a fit with her barking and crying to get out. After 5 minutes of it, I always felt sorry for her and let her out. And then she would give me nothing but doggie kisses and I would never stay mad after that. |
