I just wanted to know what you guys think.
When i come home from work and nelson's been bored/bad (either ripped up a newspaper all over the yard or dug a big hole in the garden) does he know that he's done something wrong? I've read The Dog's Mind and the book says that he has a short memory so wouldn't remember what hes done or that it was wrong. but to me i think that he KNOWS because i'll do outside and he'll crouch down really low like hes saying "oh sht, shes noticed it. if i get down really low maybe she won't see me" even in his face you can tell he knows hes done something wrong.
i never tell him off for it now because of what i read in teh book. because aparently if u tell him off then he'll be accustomed to you telling him off everytime you come home from work.
what do u think?
