She has worked very hard to
learn to behave and pay
attention, to play quietly
and rest comfortably

quiet self play

The first thing that had to be done was to take away Darla's ability to succeed in her application of self indulgence, blatant disregard and instant gratification so I began working her with a house lead, a long line and an indoor dog setter as illustrated in her videos.,

Darla has come a long way on her journey to control her behavior.
She follow and listen and pay attention and to play well with others. Even her walks have improved greatly

play nice
play quietly
no attention demanding barking
listen when spoken to
through patience, perseverance and lack of confusion Darla has learned a whole new way to deal with everything around her -
