[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 544332, member: 84"] LOL DDD, I've also had kids that weren't that smart. Odd side effect of constantly training a puppy............it carries over to small children. I've found myself telling Connor to Sit (giving him the same hand command as Maggie) when he attempts to climb out of his chair at meal time and such. It takes more times with him, but he's catching on. LOL And it's really funny hearing him try to tell Maggie to Leave It when she's trying to snatch his favorite blankie.........since he doesn't talk very well, I can barely make out what he's saying, it's his tone more than anything. Too cute. Oh, and if I snapped my fingers..........my kids froze. Found out that works on grandkids as well, even if they haven't been raised to do so. Used it on Darrin who was pushing his luck in a doctor waiting room. Didn't say a word, snapped the fingers and pointed for him to sit. He sat. LOL So I'm not sure if I train dogs like children or children like dogs, I do them nearly the same. :rofl: IC I might look into some therapy training for Maggie. Molly has always been happiest when she's been busy. Maggie is the same way. Fortunately for Molly, Maggie keeps her busy......me busy......which also keeps Molly busy because now that Molly is once again active, she's back to many of the old things she used to do when she was younger. We're working on Rowdy. His shorter walks seem to be working. He's not as stiff and his gait is more normal and he's slowing increasing his distance. So a little hope there too. :) [/QUOTE]
