New Obedience Method for Dogs: Counting
I just found myself yelling at the dog to come back inside and when she didn’t move I actually said, “One…Two…WAIT, what the hell am I doing?”
Counting to 3 doesn’t work for my son (he keeps counting when we hit three) and the dog certainly doesn’t understand what I’m saying.
I am officially losing it!
My name is Emily. I’m 30 years old. I have often been told that I ask a lot of questions, but I think I have more to say than ask.
Wow, now 1-2-3 Magic for Dogs…that’s a GREATidea!

Using My Words
I’ve done the same to my kitten. she looks at me like I’m crazy.
i keep saying “ta ta” to the cat when i mean to say “shoo”…
welcome to the crazy.
[…] Snort! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has done this. […]
At least I’m sure you’re giving your neighbors a good laugh…
I’ve done the opposite and told my daughter to “go lie down.” Just so you know, that one doesn’t work very well, either. : )

Ha!!!! I totally relate. My cat Marge NEVER listens to me when I tell her to get off the baby’s chair, the baby’s playmat, etc., etc.. I get so frustrated. LIKE she understands when I tell her “PLEASE listen to me! Why won’t you LISTEN TO ME!!”
Did you feel like the dog whisperer for a moment? They say they know…
this was cute…

Our cats listen like my wife does, very ’selective’ hearing:)
yeah, i wish…my dogs would be much better behaved if i could use the 1,2,3…or maybe they would still be shitty.
anyway, thanks for the wonderful gifts. i will definitely use the yarn and everything else is great, too!
Thanks for the laugh, glad I am not hte only one losing it!
Ha! I curse our puppy out in a high-pitched sweet voice. The irony makes me happy.
Your puppy is adorable! I’ve been seriously thinking about a puppy for a xmas surprise for the kids, but I can’t decide on what kind would be best
I can barely make the counting work for my kids!!

When I say to my daughter “You have until the count of three” she waits until I say three before doing what she’s supposed to.
