Throughout the time we've had Sadie we've found she can be very stubborn. We've had her for about two weeks now and she's only eaten dry food. The other day she decided to try to test us, again, to see if we'd give her wet food. She refused to eat the entire day, only drinking water at meal times. She quickly learned that we would not give in and she had to eat dry food or no food at all. Sadie tested us to see if we'd feel sorry that she wasn't eating dry food and would, instead, give in and give her some wet food. We ultimately won the "battle" and she caved in on the second day and ate dry food.
Sadie likes to test us but we've found if we stand firm that she'll be the one who caves in, which is the way it should be. Our motto is "it is a privilege, not a right." If either of the pup wants play time, it is a privilege. They need to be on good behavior in order to earn extra long play time, treats, etc. If they misbehave then they will learn they don't get these extra perks and will instead spend more time in the crate.
Sadie went in for a bath today and when she was done we saw she had very cute bows in her hair.
