Most training programs are based on reward and punishment and rely on conditioning. There is an alternative. You can teach your dog from a model based on learning. The difference between conditioning and learning is that true learning is generative. Teaching from a generative model teaches your dog how to learn. When you teach your dog how to learn, you escape from having to train it situationally.

My daughter has been begging for a small puppy for so long and now that her 13th birthday is on May 10, I want to get her one because she has promised me a lot that she will care for it. She has asked for a Chawhiwhi or a Yorkee but I don’t think I want to buy a small dog because I have another 3 children aged 10, 3 & 2. What breed would you suggest for my baby girl? My daughter loves the small dogs that Paris Hilton has and if anybody is her role model, it’s her - that’s why she wants a Chawhiwhi.

I found a Miniature Shih-Poo on a website that I thought was very cute. He is 2 months old, will be non-shedding and will be medium in size as he is crossed with a Miniature Poople. I don’t think Rachel wants a dog that needs so much grooming and I would like a slightly younger puppy so that she gets to see him at his smallest.

- Breed must not need more than 1 walk for 20 mins per day
- Must like children
- Must be easy to train and housebreak as she doesn’t like dog poopies!
** PLEASE NOTE: apoligies for any spelling mistakes on breeds. Rachel told me how to spell them - I have no idea how to spell them lol.
I do not want a dog bigger than medium/small. I live in a small house with a very small backyard so room is restricted.
