Bianca is so spoiled. I have not been spoiling her lately, I haven't been paying too much attention to her and she still won't listen to me! I don't know what to do! Help?

What exactly is she doing when you tell her to do something? Can you give examples?

She just ignores me. I have to tell her several times and clap my hands loudly to get her to obey.

My best advice would be to really praise her when she does listen. They do want to please you, that should be the only motivation she needs. Give her lots of love, tell her she's a good girl, give her a treat, etc. For example, if she barks a lot when she hears something outside and you don't want her to, try telling her "No, be quiet." (In a calm voice) Then when she's quiet, tell her what a good girl she is. It might take time, but keep at it, she'll get there!

But she's so old! If she doesn't know by now, I'm scared she won't know anytime soon.

Contrary to popular belief, old dogs can learn new tricks! Just be patient and always reward her for good behavior. Positive reinforcement works!  (And keep us updated on how she's doing!) |
