Like you, I tend to spoil my dogs, but in our case the dogs being spoiled are very mild mannered and obedient, so I've not had the kinds of problems that you have had. The big dog that we have is rather a sensitive soul and can't stand it when we even look at him angrily, so it's been rather easy to keep him in control, but we do let him get in the bed and feed him from the table. Hearing the kinds of problems that we could have had if he had a different temperament is frightening.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-72299710852430399422011-06-23T12:06:58.435-05:002011-06-23T12:06:58.435-05:00We had a "bad dog" experience and it was...We had a "bad dog" experience and it was our fault as well. I didn't learn that though until years later. <br /><br />With Chloe, we thought long and hard about why we wanted a dog. Prior to that, we were die hard cat folks! We knew what we wanted this time, what we could handle and what would be fair to a dog and we went in search of her. It took awhile and many rescues kept telling us we needed a larger dog. That a larger dog would solve a lot of our yard issues, but we knew deep down, that we wanted the dog to be with us, indoors. <br /><br />Now we have Chloe and although she is not perfect... we got her at a very young age (6 mo) and have been working with her and she is just a doll. She wants to do well all the time and that helps with the training as she is not a food focused dog. <br /><br />Training and consistency make all the difference!Tihttp://bookchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-7308050341055972162011-06-23T11:18:27.003-05:002011-06-23T11:18:27.003-05:00Our "bad" dog experience had to do with ...Our "bad" dog experience had to do with a beagle not being an apartment dog. People really have to do their research before they get a dog. Though it's very hard when they're just so cute.Martha@Hey, I want to read thathttp://heyiwanttoreadthat.com/noreply@blogger.com
