    Well trained.. kind of :D

    "AS A PROFESSIONAL animal trainer, I was disturbed when my own dog developed a bad habit. Every time I hung my wash out on the clothesline, she would yank it down.
    Drastic action was called for. I put a white kitchen towel on the line and waited. Each time she pulled it off, I scolded her. After two weeks the towel was untouched. Then I hung out a large wash and left to do some errands.
    When I came home, my clean clothes were scattered all over the yard. On the line was the white kitchen towel."

    Well, your efforts were rewarded. At least she left the towel. You may have to continue the training with a full wash on the line.

    ...and a dog with a big smile. "Look, I didn't touch the towel, can I have a treat now?"
