    Really only my own. In college I used to pray for my roommates to go away so I could have some training time with their dogs. They'd be little angels when the roommate/owner came back. 'Course that only lasted for about 48 hrs. Then, the roommate wondered why and blamed the dog for reverting to bad behavior. Nowadays? Well, let's put in this way, the food begging is not happening on my side of the table. DH's method of training is to just keep saying the dog's name over and over. You know the saying about training a dog to do new tricks, you have to be . . . . " Sometimes I wonder.

    I have a friend with an untrained dog. The dog thinks that his name is "Hank, no!"

    Ah, just wait until you meet Bubba. He's a total softie but training can only be done by stealth maneuevers though he does respond well to treats. He can't know the treat is in direct connection to good behaviour.
