Thanks everyone
Anny Mendoza-
I don't have a problem insisting when it comes to temporary things like the food situation or the harness I picked out, they eventually get over it.
More permanent things like grooming are the problem. I would just go ahead and have her cut pretty short, but I know they won't drop it even after it's grown out.
My mom still rants at least 2x a year about her yorkie's hair being cut short 1 time 30 years ago.

I usually do walk away, but I can't always.
It wouldn't work with things like the food situation. They'll just go ahead and give Lola 3x as much wet food as she's supposed to, an entire piece of cheese, 2 big dog treats in one sitting, etc.
I mostly have them broken with not over feeding her or feeding her while we're eating, but not 100%.
As for the hair, see above.

That's a nice grooming table, I looked and most places have it for around that price. It'll have to wait awhile though.
That's the plus side of being the mom, you can tell them to mind their own business, I can't tell my family that. |
