[Rhapsody]

I know this is horribly frustrating, but I've found that if you relax a little . . . step back . . . buy some real good enzyme spray . . . and not take it personal (or not tie so much emotions into it) you get much better results.

Rhapsody is doing very well in the training area at 13 wks, but I think this is because I'm so much more relaxed with her than I was about the my other doggies. Now don't get me wrong; she sleeps in a crate and I take her outside every couple hours, and also I'm firm and disapproving when she has an accident, but I've noticed a huge difference since I haven't tied any anger or personal failure feelings into it.

Same advice has worked wonders for my kids also, lol, except I don't need the enzyme spray or crate. The more I step back and let them be rather than control them the better things workout and the happier we are all around.
