| You know Laura, I reread your original post. Not sure what you mean by "he does not see me as much", and I wanted to ask as much as what? but...........
Well, regardless, I think I'd get pretty mad at a dog that was jerking me around like that (not talking about pulling on the lead, but general behavior). I believe what you are doing is thinking that you shouldn't get on him about this because he is happy! (am I right?). Well, he's happy because he is doing whatever he darn well pleases. He needs to learn to be happy doing whatever you darn well please. Remember that puppy passport business? His expired a very long time ago. He can and should treat you with courtesy and you need to quit worrying about hurting his poor delicate little feelings, quit feeling guilty. Once your attitude says you are not going to put up with it and you dump the guilts I suspect you will see a great change. What in the world to feel guilty about? The terrible home he has to live in????? Get over it girl.
