It seems once the kids know their boundaries they are happier. Our house is full of pretty stuff and my daughter said I won't be able to bring my kids over. I said sure you will, I will teach them what they can touch and what they can just look at. It's a non issue. She on the other hand can has a house devoid of anything breakable because it would be broken if it was in reach. I had one word that I insisted must be obeyed immediately and without question, whoa. I used it probably 3 times in each of their lives but that word meant something very serious was about to happen and they needed to stop and stand still like right now. Whoa was also a word I used with my bird dogs however to stop them. So we are at the lake having some beers with some friends and I turn to walk across the field to the outhouse and my lab is running up to an older lady I don't know and she looks like she is going to have a heart attack. I yell out Yeller, whoa. He comes to a sliding stop and stands perfectly still. I hear laughter around the camp fire like folks are splitting a gut so I turn around and said what. Brad points across the other end of the field and said look at Jenny. Jenny is sitting on the ground perfectly still. Brad said she was at a dead run and you yelled at the dog and she came to a skidding stop and her ass hit the ground. Hilarious. To bad she didn't mind like that as a teenager:)
