Everything!!!
I do everything wrong apparently. I never knew I was such a horrible dog owner until now.
I do tell my dog 'no' when she is doing something she shouldn't be. Although that is very seldom these days because she's so awesome.
I don't rotate her dog food unless the store is out of what she normally eats. And then I don't ration it.
I do feed her bits when I'm cooking.
I don't buy fancy schmancy overpriced dog food.
I don't take her to the vet for every little thing. We doctor as much at home as possible, unless it's serious of course.
When we were teaching her when she was young, we didn't do it with treats as rewards for good behavior. I look at it like this, everytime your child did something right did you give them a cookie?
I do gush over her when I come home! She's so happy to see me, why shouldn't I be happy to see her?
She doesn't have a doggy door, but we did put a door handle on the bottom of the screen door so she can open the door and come in when she wants. [I don't know why this is a bad thing but I saw it in an earlier post]
I don't know how she turned out to be such a healthy well behaved dog in spite of my total ignorance. She is currently teaching a dog, who is a 'temporary guest' at our house, some manners. Sadly the guest dog has virtually none. I find this not only amusing but very impressive.
I'm sure the list goes on and on but I would probably shut down the server!!
