What has really ruined the weekend for me is several people saying that she is so well behaved because she is scared of me!
I have spent bl.....y hours training with her,playing with her, bonding with her and having loads of cuddles. They have dogs that rule the house and the humans, are rotten with other dogs and have been known to be very snappy and unpredictable at the best of times.
I got very snappy in the park when one made a comment and said, oh yes thats why she comes back to me even when I don't call her, wagging her tail and cuddling up to me. Thats why she is my constant shadow and I never leave her at home, she travels with us all the time. It was met with a stoney stare and scilence, to which I thought thank God!
If she was afraid of me would I be the first person she looks for and would she leave anyone elses knee for me when I enter the room.
Yes I don't feed her rubbish, she eats from her bowl, her food. She doesn't beg, and whine when we have food, she leaves and goes to her bed until we have finished.
She is trained to walk properly on her lead and I won't let my kids, or anyone elses wined her up beyond belief or disturb her when she has gone to her space because she has had enough.
Bt apparently I am still a bad mum because she is well behaved
Grump over!
