[QUOTE="DDD, post: 468658, member: 35"] Ace has always followed simple commands with-o clicker training or treats. He has been compliant with-o any incentives and I swear there is no environmental change other than easy child and her husband visiting...and they are really "dog" people with-o any attitude at all. husband just had his six month checkup and he is healthy. None of us has had an "attitude". We did have the furniture cleaners and floor cleaners in last week to prepare for company but Ace went to be groomed and when he came home from the familiar dog loving groomers the only change in the house was that the living room was blocked off for two days. I do think it is strange that he would all of a sudden assert himself but there is no sign of anything wrong except, lol, a possible constipation problem. No...there has been no change in diet either. It is weird, no doubt. I have been wondering (don't laugh) if it could be hormonal..,or early onset adolescence. Geez, I think I've raised too many kids! husband and I agreed that he will be allowed to "go to bed" when I do. He will be allowed to get up with husband (he usually opens the store and is up first) and then...when husband leaves he will shut the MBR door. Once I get up Ace and I will follow our usual pleasant routine [B]but [/B]Ace will not be allowed in the MBR as I prepare for work. I am not going to pull him out of the room again and end up with a recurrence of old back problems. Today the otc medications have prevented pain but...darn it...I don't take medications ever unless I have to, and today my back hurt. husband also agreed, thank heavens, that if he gives any more problems he will be banished from the MBR. Phew/Whew. I think husband gets it. I'll update tomorrow but honestly he is trained, compliant and not a pain in the fanny usually. Hope Ace "gets it" and the problem doesn't recur. Fingers crossed.
