[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 602092, member: 1967"] One more thing to think about . . . my therapist said that when we finally set and stick to the boundaries that difficult child will not like it very much and will fight to see if she can keep manipulating. If we stay strong, she will eventually see that we mean it and stop because it isn't getting her anywhere. But that will take time and we need to stay strong. Your difficult child won't believe you at first either since it hasn't stuck in the past. There is something called an extinction burst in dog training where a dog will frantically keep upping the ante trying to get you to give in to doing what it wants you to do. Eventually, it will give up. Our GHG's will do the same thing. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
