was past pill time by nosing her pill alarm clock. I had not taught her that! ) We continued that theme with all pets since her, just lovingly showing them what they need to know. We've all been very happy that way, pets and people!

Knowing pets helps too. For instance, knowing a pet is going to need outside after eating or drinking a lot, means you can put them out then, instead of waiting for an accident to happen. Puppies need out often. Puppies need watched, even outside. We got a large plastic playpen for our last two pups, for the livingroom, believe it or not, and kept it clean, and kept them from having to be corrected all day long. Nobody likes to be corrected a lot all day. And it kept them safe! Puppies will often nip or bite at first, but all you need to do is turn away, make hurt sounds, and don't handle them again for awhile. They stop really soon. To loose your attention is the worse correction they know of. They want to please you and be with you more than anything else!

And we are very responsible pet owners, who keep our pets for life, and take the best care of them we possibly can. Only 1 pet out of the last 10 we've had died before old age. They have all been very happy and very loved! No pets could be more loved than they are in my house! That 1 who died before old age is a sad, sad story for another day.

So, all in all, yes, I'd say use both lavish praise and love, reinforcement and correction, and enjoy a loving, close relationship with the only life form that will love you unconditionally for life!
