Wack my nose with a rolled up newspaper because I started sniffing around in places you didn't want me. Scratch behind my ears and tell me how good I am when I obey you. Sit. Lay. Roll over. Speak. Entice me with treats and your excited tone of voice. I want to please. Quickly tuck my tail between my legs and whimper for forgiveness after the harsh, "no" has been demanded. My every move and sound must appease you or I know I will be sleeping outside instead of at the foot of your warm bed. Good dog. I'm just your *****.
