Problem: Now I ' ve lived with this dog for nearly 9 years and NEITHER instance has ever happened . So I clicked a leash on her and rushed her up to the pet hospital . As it turns out , she has pancreatitis , she was all bouncy happy when I picked her up so I felt ok about her condition . How weird !

What may happen after I pick her from the pet hospital ?

A: She will live for several more years .

Problem: Sorry about no post last night . I basically collapsed and fell asleep after dinner ( and after way too much dessert , but more on that later . ) I was sound asleep by 9:30 , and I still wanted to sleep more when my alarm went off at 6:30 this morning .

What may have happened if I did n't have any dessert ?

A: I could have gotten the post done .

Problem: When the pup has sat quietly for 10 seconds , then he will be petted . Lather , rinse , repeat . This will take some time but i believe it is the best solution for this problem ( saying down does nothing when he 's too damn excited , and it just makes him ignore the word more . ) practicing on different people would be excellent .

How am I able to get it to do what I want it to do ?

A:
I reward it for doing what I want it to do instead of yelling at it .
