No more Mrs. Nice Mama

[KeeperBoy]

Keepers was a royal pain in the ass at his training class tonight. On my way out of class the trainer (whom we've worked with almost a year now) came to ask about my obvious frustrations. I totally broke down and starting crying. I'm working so hard on this dog and I'm still not getting reliable results. After about an hour of chatting I came to realize that I baby him way too much. He needs to learn to respect me more and I'm going to have to start using more fair corrections. It was hard to hear but I know it's true. He is my baby and he came from a home where no one loved him... but he has a home now and I can't make excuses for him. What a night

you'd be amazed at the similarities there are when discussing bringing up children and bringing up dogs. Many of the same ideas apply to both situations.
Give a child a loving disciplined home, and the chances of them growing up with manners are much better than they would be if you let them run wild all the time.

This is so true!

Dogs and kids are the same way to bring up.
