[QUOTE="Jody, post: 458421, member: 8787"] Broady is my golden retriever and he is pictured as my avatar. I think he's super smart. When he came home at 9 weeks old, he never had an accident in the house. This was going from a pen with all of his sisters and brothers straight to the house. He went potty in the grass when we first brought him home and he was instantly house trained. I never raised my voice at him, nor did I allow the kids. I realized very quickly that a simple no in a regular voice would make Broady stop whatever it was he was doing and find something else to do. Monday-Friday after he goes out he goes instantly to his crate and sits down, on the weekend he jumps back into the bed with me. He knows when I get ready for work, that he has to be crated. I love that most of all. I used to have a dog Lucy that had to be chased to get her in her crate. That drove me nuts. I was having sleep apnea issues, and one night I stopped breathing 3 different times. I had fallen asleep in the chair and Broady noticed what was going on, all three times he jumped off the bed and put his two front paws on my chest and pushed gently. It woke me up and I realized that I had been gasping for air. He was just a little over a year old and he never hurt me when he did it. With my fribromyalga sometimes when I am having a full blown attack, it is hard to get around. I tell Broady help mommy, he will back up until he is very close to me and I can pull on his collar to help me get up and get my balance. I love my dog, I think he is just the best dog ever. He truly is my best friend. I can't wait to get home and see him every day. He gives me kisses and then he gives you a great big smile everytime. He's always happy to see me.
