I had my yorkie for six years and during that time our bond evolved and my husband and I noted that we could speak to her in a conversational tone and she would respond or do the things she heard us say. We didn't have to give her commands or formal training. And we NEVER had to use any sort of negative discipline or reinforcers. She was so in tune with us and our lives and just seemed to know what we wanted or expected and was eager to make us happy. Intuitive intelligence. |
