I think this is what Im going to try to do- the time out method. I think what I need to do is start teaching chloe that she isnt the boss and she doesnt own everything becasue I think my spoiling her and constantly babying her and the way I treat her has made her think she is queen bee at this house. I used to think it was cute how bold she is and that she thinks she is head honcho but of course now I think it has led to this and has gone too far and this is my fault because I encouraged it by doing nothing. I think Im going to have to serious change how I am with them. Its just really hard for me becasue chloe is seriously my baby and the love of my life and I have a problem with constantly doting affection on her. She loves on me all the time and I find her personality to be completely irresistable. You guys are going to get mad at me for this, but when I discipline chloe for doing something bad, like anytime I say "no" or "bad girl" chloe will immediately comes to me and give me lots kisses and loves on me like she is trying to apologize and of course I give into her sweet face and affection and I start loving and cuddling with her which I know really doesnt teach her anything other than she has me wrapped around her finger. Im bad and I know it. Its really hard not to- you should see the faces she makes, she is aboslutely the most endearing loving creature and I cant stay mad at her. So ultimately I have just been horrible at staying "firm" with discipline and training on chloe. I think Im the one that is going to have to go to a trainer. If cesar milan ever came to my house he would be appalled with me, Im sure.
