She has no remorse....she really thinks she can do no wrong.
Well, I gotta tell ya, the behaviorists say that no dog feels remorse. A dog who hangs his head, ducks his tail, and slinks away is simply trying to avoid punishment. In light of that, I'd say that she isn't afraid of you, plain and simple. BUT, do you really want her to be???? I don't. I don't want a relationship with my pup that's based on fear.
As far as the barking, I expect she interprets your lectures as a human attempt at barking, so she barks, too.
From what you've said so far, I think she has a potty training issue but I haven't read anything that makes me think she needs to be "taken down a notch". What was she in time-out for? |
