[QUOTE=docmartin;4478889]I think Irina and I have to agree a united front, these clever little monsters are great manipulators. Mrs Doc gets taken in when I attempt to chastise her little conniptions. Strange because she's been a Mom and I haven't, but I did go to a Private boarding school!
 
On October 1st, 
"Mrs Doc" is going to her homeland for an extended seven week stay with her new grandchild. Then things may change a little? When this happened for 2 weeks back in the spring, life quickly became disciplined by routine. For nearly two months without Mom, she'll be 'Home Alone' with just the Doc for company mmm?

If you make the commands she must do fun for her, she will just love the NILIF program and go right along with the program happily, learning at the same time that you are in charge and she's not to growl over possessions.  We know we really aren't in charge - they are - but at least they stop becoming territorial and growling over things!  haha  Good luck!
