[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 483984, member: 84"] Hmm. This may be hard for me. I parent my dogs the way I did my kids. lol Seemed to work ok for both sets for the most part. Although in some ways Betsy can be classified as a difficult child due to the fact when she was a pup and young dog I was a full time student with no spare time to train her properly. She has most manners down, but a few she's stubborn about. Like jumping up for attention.......and it IS for attention. She is a mega love dog and would be glued to me 24/7 if given the chance. If she'd stop being difficult child jealous over Molly that would be possible. I don't look at animals as "animals". They're just different types of people to me. (It's been established that I'm a tad weird) I mean I'm the lady that had a long conversation with Mrs Raccoon explaining to her she could enjoy my trash as long as she didn't make a mess of it. So far, she never has. I talk to them like people. If they can't understand me, they've as yet to let on. Same way I talk to kids......even babies. I don't talk [B]at [/B]them, I talk to them.
