You want to avoid "tricking" her. You want her to "want" you to take care of her. What is her "curency" (what is her favorite thing in the world)? Use it when she get in your lap, and use it again...

Yeah, don't worry about that other post Shara, I sometimes don't have enough time to spend with mine either. But that definitly doesn't mean they belong at a shelter. Tooo many dogs are being given up now. I have also seen tons of strays lately too. It breaks my heart to think that someones opinion would be to just give up your dog. Where theres a will theres a way. Tigs will come around, don't worry. Especially males I...

Is he not at the last chalenging phase,16-20 + months.? Check for your breed.If he is at this stage just treat him the way you did as a puppy,firm but just.It passes and eventually you end up with a healthy well ajusted adult dog.Never leave your dog for long periods of time as they miss you and become bored and distructive.Some people think they are great dog owners if they take a rescue dog but work long hours and would you really like a...
