Dillon used to test me as well with growling if he was bothered while sleeping, and we quickly broke him of that...We correct him everytime he does something we dont like, if we let it slide just once, he thinks it means he can do whatever he wants - it only takes one time to undo the last 10 times of reinforcing them correctly. They are subborn little dogs and we have to be more stubborn than they are - and consistancy is the key with them in my opinion.

Very true Emilie - consistency is key. There are many times that I am tempted to let Jackie's behavior slide,
just this one time . . . but then I realize how much damage that could do, so I have to force my lazy butt to deal with and correct it. You can't let anything unacceptable slide, or they will be quick to capitalize on it. Too smart for their own good!
