This is so encouraging! I'm not alone! We can form a support group!!

I love hearing all y'alls stories. It makes my heart lighter knowing, that this is "normal" or at the very least "average."

I (the husband ) do the training and dog-related activity in our house. It is like the Little Red Hen story around here - if you don't help with the dog chores, then don't expect Dad to share Cookie when she wants to snuggle on the couch!

My daughter who is 11 has been accompanying me to our current training class. She is showing much more interest in training, and has been even helping the intructor in class. She will be getting her own treat bag and clicker for Christmas.
