Wow..lots of great info you've given, and I thank you. I see now, right away, where I've been messing up. I do exactly what you said not to do.
IE: baths, IE: earhair trimming, etc. I'd have treats and kisses for her also, but the main thing is that I was taking her away from her monkey, teddy, chewy, and other toys at the time. NOT purposely of course, that bit didn't occur to me until you outlined it.
....no wonder she didn't want to come to me when I called her over.
I admit I have a lot to learn in training a puppy (I could use a training class myself). I do have patience going for me in volumes, so I guess that's a good start. lol
Thank you for the tips and the link. I'll put them to good use. :]
