<p class=MsoNormal>Sohie and Diva behave how Daisy and Lilly behave! They
charge! And howl! And bark! AND JUMP!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This behavior doesn’t bother DH, but I find it particularly
troublesome! DH gets all excited when the girls<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Greet him this way. He is done work, empty handed,
dirty from a day’s work, and ready to take them to do dog things.
He gets them in the BUV <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And off they go. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I come home, I have brought home work, carrying a
grocery bag, purse, I am stressed, I have to pee!, need to cook dinner,
do laundry, do dishes….all that stuff. So a barking, howling
jumping dogs do NOTHING for me. I generally do not make a big deal about
coming home. After I get the load of carried items safely stowed, THEN I
greet the girls. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This routine has taken about 6 months to perfect, but it
does work – well for us anyways. We just have two different ways to
greet da gurlz – and they seem to understand!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Good luck!<o:p></o:p></p>
