Ok. so we had the talk again.
Cooper, you are now 3 years old. You are no longer a puppy. In human years you would be 21, and you would be moving out of the house. Now, I don't expect you to move out on your own, but bringing me the ball 50 times for me to throw it, is getting old. Especially, when you drop the ball just out of my reach. Now bringing me the ball 10 to 20, I could see that, but 50 times and then growling at me when I don't throw it fast enough. I mean really, you need to grow up.
No, we are talking, I am not going to throw the ball.
What, you would growl at me? I can't believe it.
Now you are barking.
OK, I will throw the ball only 10 times.
…
Total silence. (I think that is worse)
Ok, I will throw it 40 more times, but tomorrow you are down to 20.
BTW, look at what I discovered in the house in the hall to the outside porch…
