I am so guilty of it as well. Just like with the kids. They just wont listen when I ask them something. Boy if I yell I get their attention real quick and they jump because they know mom is not happy when she has to yell. And mom don't mess around like that! I think it's the same for dogs. The only time I have to yell at Gus is when he's barking at something outside. He runs like a mad man back and forth from door to door barking. I say Gus it's ok stop it. But nope, never works. But if I yell "Gus I said to stop it!!!!" He sure listens. He'll come to me and sit by me and do his little grunts,,,,, as if he's saying "gosh mom you wont let me do anything,,, I was only having fun"
