Wow, have we resorted to taking things out of context to prove a point. haha. At the time I wrote that she was only 9 weeks old and I have just taken her for her first round of shots and she had absolutely no training under her belt. We weren't even taking her outside yet. So my relationship isn't damaged with her nor have I ever "dominated" her. Try to know what you are talking about next time, it's more effective.
