[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2739958, member: 1242"] **sigh** I can't take her -- GC is right, if it wasn't for him they would be saying the Russian cat lady has nothing on me -- BUT ... IF you could get her to "behave" would you keep her? If the answer is yes, PM me and I'll send you some ideas, and suggestions for reading maerial. Your 6-year-old is plenty old enough to understand basic dog behavior and use it to her advantage. The bad news is it takes time (a few weeks) but more importantly it takes consistently applying "The Rules" ... The good news is even tired, grumpy, stressed out grown-ups can do it! ;) Watch these dogs closely ... they NEVER bump or even brush up against the little girl ... the youngest puppies, who arguably, should be the least able to control their impulses and the oldest dogs, who arguably, could be tempted to assert themselves with regard to pack structure, are the most intriguing to watch ... http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=ofCZNgnPtqU [/QUOTE]
