I brought
Emma home
to a very quite house. My husband had been working out of town and we
have
no children living with us.
It made it
easy to train her.
The
only words she heard were mine and I keep them simple and few. She was
already such an old lazy soul she picked up on everything fast.
She was very
sensitive.
You would hurt her feeling if you spoke loudly to her. I found this out
the hard way on day two when I said a little elevated, "No" when she
attempted to check out
the cat food. She didn't go into the kitchen for the
next two months.
So, as much
credit as I would like to take. The training and discipline she exhibits
is mainly due to
her innate nature.
The rest
was education, consistency and effort
on my part.
In my eyes my
dog has made it big time. Not because she passed any test or because she
was a little photogenic or because she like the same activities I do.
She reaches the pinnacle of achievement
everyday by simply laying
her head in my lap!
