She knows the command for kennel. I was just giving an example of when she might get overly defensive. I don't normally put her in her kennel except when I have to work. I told her no this morning for chewing on the couch and took a piece of foam from the cushion from her no problem, its only at random times she gets like that. She gets praise when she drops something. I train with positive reinforcement. As I said, she will also get mad in a split second while playing with Sully and then go back to playing again. She also has to control when he has a toy, even if he's in another room she will come and take it and chase him into a corner so he can't have the toy. He puts up with it completely. And Wallace does go out better in the snow than in the grass. He's been like this for life, he's almost 7 now. He will sit inside all day without going out and when you offer him to go outside he hangs his head and runs under a chair like its a punishment. This is also only at random times. It seems to work best to pretend you aren't interested in him anymore and then go scoop him up and put him out. He's trained to go on command to a point where he will fake it to get back inside. Its funny because we know he has to go but he will still fake it and go back in. He might as well pee while he's faking it. Other times he's fine. I used to think he had rage syndrome because that comes with low serotonin levels and he could fall asleep in the middle of running around at the dog park, while other dogs would be too excited to just drop to a dead sleep, but he does have a trigger so its not truly idiopathic.
