my dogs fee off my others, for example I moticed when I was at Jordans that when were ordered food, I was all prepared for my dogs to throw a fit, so I had them leashed and muzzled, the guy came and the girls did not even try to bark they just walked up quietly, I was shocked, because with my moms dogs going off at every little thing it sets off mine, so they are noisy as he77 at my house. it was the same with feeding, at my house Happy barks and barks and barks and barks till her food is handed to her, we tried the whole ignoring till quiet thing, but nope, Happy did not give a damn how long it took, she barks for the exitment she has no interest in food. however at Jordans, Visa was calm, and guess what? so were Happy and Misty, they just watched and waited quietly. it really made me happy to know that my dogs really do know there manners, its my moms dogs that set them off lol
