is quite the hero!!! Great job!!!!! I love Cesar Milan and his
ability to put the pack dynamics in terms that us, as mere humans, can
understand. If ever we have a problem in the house with the dogs, his
strategies ALWAYS work wonders, and it looks like she knew just what she was
doing. She’s a very brave girl. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New"'>On the basset puppy who steals food from the young
kids in the house, Diva used to do that to my children when they were
smaller. She would jump up and grab whatever was in their plates, knock
their plates out of their hands and gobble the food up or wait until they left
the table and climb up on top of it using one of their chairs that wasn’t
pushed all the way under. Of course, she’s about to turn 3 and she’s
much calmer now, but it wasn’t until I allowed the children to show her
that they were alpha to her, and not on the same level as she is, that she
stopped treating them like another puppy. It’s hard when they are
really small, and especially when your first instinct is to run over and
correct the dog yourself, but if you can talk to the child, prepare them for
how to handle it and then let the child show the dog who is boss, you won’t
have to worry about the dog doing this when you’re not around or when you
have neighborhood children over and your dog only knows not to snatch things
from YOUR children. (worked for us anyway…)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
