I LIKE the Name!! LOL!! GOOD to know!!!

And NPP IS a good guy!!! AND a LUCKY guy!!!

The name She Who Must Be obeyed came from a H Ryder Haggard novel SHE about a Queen in Africa. I have been a dog trainer for 40 plus years, and always remind my students that a command to the dog must be obeyed, but because the dog wants to obey, for the reward, not because not obeying will get the dog serious punishment. Somehow, one of the people in a class started referring to me as She Who Must Be Obeyed and it stuck. As far as being lucky, I am also lucky with NPP. now that he is properly trained-that is.

Had a German Shepherd like that.We left our bedroom door open so the kids could come in if they got scared. Try having an 90 pd GS lands in the middle of your bed while you are fast asleep. But I think yours would be a little MORE EXCITEFUL!!!

And the poor things are just desperate around the 4th of July, my family enjoys a good colorful firework display but I feel for all dogs around that time of year, I know how tough those sounds are on mine

I think it is very interesting "how" people get their nicknames.

He must have gotten a LOT of rewards for doing RIGHT!!! LOLOL

Do you have any ideas on cats? I just put my kitten outside for the second time. I keep my couch covered with plastic because he keeps peeing on it. How do you reward them for NOT peeing on it??

I reward them by letting them live.

Well I did let him live. I just decided he was going to be an outside kitten from now on. He was outside when I got him, but he had other kittens to keep him busy. But He was also litter trained so I WAS going to keep him in the house. But I am pretty sure now, I have changed my mind!!

You could get scat matts for the sofa and any other furniture you don't want the cat on. We trained our cats that the only piece of furniture they were allowed on was one old rocking chair in the living room, Otherwise they would have been on all the furniture and the kitchen table and counters. But then they also went in their crates when told to. Look up scat matts on Amazon. They are battery operated plastic sheets that shock the animal when ever it steps on them, not enough to damage the cat, but enough to keep the animal on the floor. Our dogs don't get on the furniture either we won't tolerate that.

Thank you. Something to look into, for sure. I have one chair that my Husband's little dog used to sit on his lap in. Then after Hubby passed she still used that chair only. But one day she went into the woods and never came back. She was old, and I think she went to find Hubby, and probably did. I keep putting the Kitten in that chair but he will NOT sit in it. He likes to use it as a runway, but that is all. Everytime I leave the room and come back, he is in my chair.
He knows what NO means. And he even LISTENS "IF he FEELS like it". I'll have to look into that scat matt. IF I decide to let him back into the house, that is!!!
His hashtag is, Kitten from Hell!!!

I spend a fortune on dog treats also. That's how I reward THEM. (For not being cats.)
