I think another reason is that were together too much(if thats possible ) aaaaall the time....seriously all the time since day one, and he follows me.....everywhere! And when I am gone he doesn't know what to do.
The best way to describe him right now is a jock in highschool thats mean to people, but for some reason people still like him, lol
Other than that, he is a good boy!

lol. I know the ones you mean in HS!!!

What a great description and I can relate as it fits Georgie to a Tee!!!! I am reading through everyone's advice thinking hmmmm I need to try that LOL.

Tibbe is literally with me 24/7, too. He goes on car trips, out back to take out the garbage, into the bathroom when I shower, sleeps with me - we're rarely apart. He's my right arm!

Lol I know, everyone tells me its not good to always be together and what if something happens to me but I dont want to not be together just in case, although he would be pretty messed up if I wasn't around. My sister is his second favorite and she said when I leave he just sits at the window waiting. But he does looove his auntie, and actualy listens to her better then me,lol

When Georgie is not with me or my husband he is with his grandparents. My MIL told me he sleeps and doesn't play or anything......this is not the Georgie that I know. While he doesn't play like he did when he was younger he definitely gets excited and plays throughout the day. It's hard not being with them your love for Joel is equal to his love for his Mommy

I am NO trainer, so I just do what I think will work....I agree with IMMEDIATE correction....I think removing them from the situation just is a new adventure and they cant connect going to the bedroom for alone time and the offensive behavior action that caused the correction. I got a plastic spray bottle, set the nozzle on jet stream, and when they do something I dont like, I yell NO!!! and squirt them with the water. That corrects the bahavior immediately....and later, if they start to do something that I can tell is going to end up getting someone in trouble, all I have to do is pick up that bottle and say UUUUUMMMMMMM, and they immediately cease and desist......

That makes more sense, then I dont have to chase him around anymore, lol
I'll definetly get a spray bottle.
