Wow you have a Basset named Daisy too? Cool!!! I think it runs in the breed (and maybe the name too!) to have a stubborn puppy. Daisy was stubborn too and was even quite a nipper. We got her a personal trainer to teach her the basic thing like come, sit, and down, and he taught us some great ways of teaching her things. She'll do anything for food so we used that little weakness and now she knows a few tricks! The trainer also introduced us to the life saving penny bottle, just a plastic bottle with some pennies in it that you shake or hit on the floor when the dog is bad. Daisy shaped up right away, she hated the noise! As for the cat thing, I can't help you there, my Daisy is extremely afraid of cats and would never play with one, she got clawed pretty bad on the nose when she was just a baby And she barks when you watch TV? Hmmm I don't know about that one either... make sure that when you do that she knows she is still your favorite part of the family. Let her sit with you and pet her so she won't feel left out. I hope I helped, and I hope you have as wonderful of a Daisy as I do! BTW, her birthday is today, she's 2 years old!!! They grow up so fast don't they!?!?!
