Last week I felt really down but I'm much more positive this week. George has his problems but he's basically a nice dog. A bit like a spoiled child, we've let him get away with too much. It's us who need training!Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-10576488472249266592008-12-15T11:48:00.000+00:002008-12-15T11:48:00.000+00:00Just stop playing him the Urban rap music that'll ...Just stop playing him the Urban rap music that'll stop his interest in bitches. :-)Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-35864694659440482402008-12-15T09:54:00.000+00:002008-12-15T09:54:00.000+00:00These pet behaviourists amaze meAlthough I don't h...These pet behaviourists amaze me<BR/>Although I don't have a dog and have never worked with one personally, one of my neighbours was having awful problems with her Alsation and a short course with one has soon put her dog's behaviour straight.DeeJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037527872689174818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-91238249426283454132008-12-15T01:23:00.000+00:002008-12-15T01:23:00.000+00:00I'm a big fan of Cesar, too, Liz!

I think you're doing the right thing with George.
