LOL Judy, he knows you're a softie and is smart enough to work you down.

Ahhh!! Max sounds like my Maggie, and Gracie Leigh sounds like Bailey.
 You've got to show him who the boss is, and as soon as you realize it's not you, everything will be fine.

Judy my Chipper has me trained. I haven't done well at training him but he usually gets what he wants from me.

Mine have me trained pretty well, too. It's actually pretty sad. Wish I had time to really train them!!! The dog whisperer is awesome. Wish I could do the things he does.

With the little breed dogs it must be a whole different experience than with large dogs such as mine. If I allowed these 65+ lb dogs to push me around, I and my home would be in sorry shape.
 Not to suggest that mine are angels by any means, but they do accept that while Canada is queen of the pack, I am Goddess supreme and even Canada listens to me.  If Canada tries to defy me, all I have to do is roll up a single sheet of paper and shake it in her direction and she quickly backs down. An empty plastic shopping bag shaken in her direction has the same affect. For some reason the noise really gets her attention and lets her know I've had enough.

The trainer said that big dogs are so much easier to train than these little rascals.
I caved last night. I couldn't just ignore Max. Anyway, it was creating tension in the house, both for me and between the 2 dogs. After 2 ex husbands, there is no stress allowed on my planet. If I take him away from Gracie and force him to pay attention, he does it. It's going to take a long time - I may just say the heck with it! I'll see. Tink - if I popped a plastic bag near Max, he'd try to get it and run around playing with it!
