Lesson of the Day

[figmo]

To quote ladysprite, "I'm the primate; you're the doggie."

I've got a rambunctious one-year-old dog who's trying to train me. I'm trying to train her.

She almost but not quite jumps onto the bed. It's as if she wants me to come down off the bed for her. Warren likes to bend down for her, whereas the act of bending makes me nauseous (that head-upside-down thing). I actually want her to jump onto the bed. I will cuddle her massively if she does. I don't know how to get through to her that I do not like her trying to turn what, to me, is an essential part of her survival in this house into a game.
