Wendy, I figured that is what you meant. I just saw this topic as being a potential "you are wrong" kind of thing and thought I would state again that it was not my opinion. =)

Bellasmommy-glad you are enjoying your classes and please DO keep passing on the info. It's still fun to agree or disagree! Wendy- I know about the teenage rebellion time, I'm going through it too with Layla. Stopped coming when I call, and her new thing is to just sit in front of me barking, as if I could read her mind! I think I need a spray bottle, too.

I will laylala. Thats why I posted about these two things, I knew they would start some good discussion. Hopefully without too much tension. Last night was a lecture class without the puppies...I wish I had brought my tape recorder. I had a notebook, but was too intent on listening to write anything down! Next week we will start with more individual training. There are 3 pit mixes in our class...lab/pit (Bella), rot/pit, and mastiff/pit...oh my!! The ladies with the lil doggies are a bit nervous I think...lol.

Yes Lalayla, I know exactly what you mean. Toby will sit in front of me especially in the AM when I am trying to get ready for work and just bark, bark, bark looking at me. I'm like, "WHAT? What do you want you crazy little monkey?" I think he knows I will be leaving for work soon and he is pissed about it.
