Dixie's views on consistency

Hi! It's me, Dixie! I haven't had time to blog in a while because I was visiting my grandma. While I was there I caught something called "Bieber Fever" from my cousin. Don't tell my humans because they don't want this fever. My teenage girl human thinks this fever is repulsive for some reason. But have you seen this dude's grooming job? If he goes to Petsmart then I have to find out who his stylist is!
Besides having to conceal my fever, I have also faced other challenges since returning home.  For example, I had my grandpa trained perfectly to drop whatever he was doing and come rub my belly every time that I sat on the sofa corner and barked. No joke! And grandma would sit in the kitchen with me whenever I wanted to eat. If she didn't sit with me, I didn't eat. It worked like a charm. But I assume that you have already guessed that my mommy is not following through with these new routines. Get this....I sat on the sofa corner and barked, and she stuck me outside. Are you kidding me? This inconsistency is not good for a diva. The leading dog training websites seem to agree that human inconsistency is one of the main causes of dog stress. It impacts my temperament! I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound good! I'm off to sit on the sofa corner and bark again. Wish me luck! Your diva-Dixie
