So, my in-laws are down for the weekend for American Thanksgiving. My MIL has a very old-school approach to dog training. She's not super physical or anything, but she thinks of dogs as pets, where as I think of my dogs as family.
Heidi is still not 100% potty trained, which is fine, accidents happen, I don't sweat it, and neither does my husband. Well my MIL yelled at Heidi for peeing inside after being let out. I calmly explained that we don't do that, we only treat for being outside and going potty. I also said that BCs can be quite soft in temperament, so any negative interaction can have major consequences. Well 15 minutes ago Heidi just had an accident, and immediately ran into the corner and looked scared. I've spent the past 15 minutes tossing her treats to come out.
She also chants commands and gets her extremely excited and then complains she jumps.
*meditate* they are leaving tomorrrrrrow.
