hello welcome to yt! you should post this in the sick / emergencies section of the forum for more help, answers, and advice! you should definately take her to the vet to see what's going on. she might not be able to go into labor on her own and need a c section. i really hope this momma's gonna be ok!

I think that might be true for an owner that says
Barney Barney Barney sit sit sit sit.

I say two words - the dog's name and the command. It's worked for me because I can tell one to do one thing and the other to do something else.
I should add that I also use hand signals and clickers to communicate with them.

I'm not sure why you used the roll eyes smiley at my post :confused:

I too think your baby will grow out of it. They are really smart! I don't think I hung on to come in the beginning. It was more sit, shake, lay roll over. Not that I didn't teach them to come as that was always said. Like come here or come on let's go or even just saying their names. I also make the come here sign with my hands and they come. But I think as time goes on and the more attached she gets to you, you become the one and only in her life! She will soon follow you everywhere. To the bathroom, getting a cup of soda, making "dinner" (mines favorite time) I feel so guilty because I sit down and they get comfortable and then I get up b/c I forgot something and they all get up to follow. LOL! Sure she will always get excited when you have guests over and as she gets older let her know to calm down and sit down. She will in no time catch on. She will say hi friends and then go and lay down. That's what mine do.

Usually when I have friends at the door I tell them go lay down. They do, then the guest will sit on the sofa and my babies will come over to say hi then I say go lay down and they will usually lay by me or pick a spot next to my guest and get comfy. I hope this helps.

I also want to add that the use of the dog's name to precede a command gets the dog's attention so that is why I always use it.

ooohhh trust me she is my SHADOW already most definitely. ahahah i love it.

I wasn't using it in reference to your post, but rather to my comment about the "mom,mom,mom..." Sorry for the confusion.

Awww isn't that sweet! Love it!
