For her it's a game but when she decides to get out of our bed at 3:00 in the morning and I have to get up and go find her it's not very funny to me. Last night my voice got a little louder and guess what...she stood still so I could pick her up. It was a very firm NO. I tried it 6 times on her and it worked each time. I wonder is she just now getting it at a 1 1/2 yrs. old or am I just now getting it? I'm sure she will give me another shot at it so we will see.
Sometimes I think these little furbutts get to big for their britches. Try not to be too hard on your girl Doc. If she does it again then put her in timeout until she wants to give kisses. |
The hand 'not really chew' bit is a long standing game and very funny, she just seems 'charged' somehow since the spay, in everything she does. Bags and bags of energy, even after exhaustive bell fetching sessions on the beach. I calculate she runs for 2 miles at full charge, during our evening 'work out'.
Upon return, she promptly has the chasing tail marathon, followed by the 4 x 100 meter inter-room relay bash! This while I collapse on the sofa going dizzy watching the events unfold!
When I shout No! at the not wanting to give something up growling, snapping bit, my wife promptly intervenes and coo's to her in a soothing voice, 'poor little baby' etc etc, whilst the little reprobate gives me the 'gotcha' look, from Mom's embrace!
