So my MaeMae comes with me to restaurants and she won't make a peep... she sleeps in her bag and nobody knows she is there. I can be on the sofa watching TV with a plate of steak and my dogs sleeping on my lap and around..... and they won't even look up. Because I am consistant with my training. And I do this because I love my dogs and they are well behaved and people who are in my home love them too. |
Wish I had read this when I first got Tucker. He sits right in front of you and if you ignore him he does this barely audible whine. It's so darn cute, I can't help but give in. And I know I shouldn't. Usually if I say "beat it" she'll move to the other side of the room. My lab sits and looks at you and drools! It's so gross!
