Ok I am reading some books to help me learn how to train Maggie... but until then I REALLY need to teach her some very very basic manners. It's really driving me and Justin crazy.
The worst problem we're having is that she walks all over us. Literally. She thinks she's a lap dog. She'll jump up on the couch where we're sitting and WHATEVER we're doing, if we don't pet her right away, she'll nose right into our face and walk on our legs, ouch. I've been lucky so far that she hasn't walked on my laptop.
I feel like this should be easy. But she's only recently started to be that affectionate with Justin and I'd just hate for him to push her away. I tried telling him to just push her gently and pet her at the same time but even then, as soon as he stops petting her, she comes right back and steps on him again! How can I get her to stop doing this without hurting her feelings?
She also burps in my face and barfs on my bed but I suppose that just comes with having a dog?
