[nagdu] Dog bonding

[Shannon Dyer]

Elise,

It can be difficult dealing with family members. I don't have any magical words of wisdom, other than to stay strong. Remember that you're the one who trained with your dog and you're the one she needs to work with. So, your wishes need to be law in terms of what the dog is or isn't allowed to do. Be firm with your family members. Explain why things are the way they are. Hopefully, they'll understand and stop interfering.

> Hello, listers.  It seems I would be asking a question regarding my dog, but this relates to me and Becky.  I have only had her for 2 weeks.  The people in my household do not seem to realize that she is more a service animal than a pet.  Becky and I are still in the bonding period (the trainer said no one is only to speak to her and nothing else.  One of my members gets a little upset when Becky cannot go into her room, another is trying to take her out, feed her and everything else.  I do not want to cause any waves or seem selfish, but I am only trying to follow what my trainers have told me to do.  What do you all think?  Should I do something in this situation or just keep doing what I was taught and not bother with attitudes?  thanks, everyone.
