Neutron can be sort of that way, a little. He mostly just goes and cowers in a safe spot. He’s the one you have to be really careful when scolding or he just goes into petrified mode. Valence is the sort you have to bop upside the head to get to notice you.

It gives a nice long beep warning before shocking, by the way. It’s not just a “hit this line and fry” deal.

Ah, OK. That's a little better than I had pictured. ;-)

Cisco cringes and piddles as soon as he even *thinks* he might get scolded. :-\ It's frustrating, because he's obviously a very smart (if spastic) dog, but there's a limit to how much I can teach him because as soon as I start giving orders, he rolls over and won't move. No amount of either coaxing or scolding seems to make a difference. I have no idea if he's always been this way or if he was treated badly when he was little. Considering some of his oddities (he's realllly nervous on hard flooring, and also when he has anything in his mouth, even if it's a toy I've clearly given him), he may well have had someone who was too hard on him in certain circumstances.
