...2 different things)? i have been reading about how to keep "small dog syndrome" away, and im ready for a small dog, but my mom..... lol, she will start out that way, and after a week say "But hes my baaaayyby!" and start doing what she feels like..... its not because she doesn't like my way, she might say what a good job im doing and how great i am with the dog, but its because shes too lazy to do things the right way.... she can clean the whole house in just a few hours and have it be near perfect, but for animals that are her "baaaayyyby" its they give a cute look, and they get away with murder! (but not peeing/pooping in the house!)i understand, but shes getting the dog for me (will count as a PSD) so i really need her to help train him the right way. i feel like we're parents and i say no, the kid goes asking her the same question, and she says yes even if i say "but i said no". shes only like this with animals... how can i make her understand that she needs to do it the right way if she doesn't want a bratty dog? we live in a no pets apt, so if we don't do it right the landlord can make us get rid of the dog.
