And now for this important DOGGIEPING Announcement!

I've lost my list! I did a deep clean of my computer and I guess inadvertently deleted the folder I kept the ping list in.

If you were previously on my ping list and would still like to be on the list now, please let me know... I am re-building the list from scratch!

Kindly add me to your “Doggie Ping” list.

Thanks, Don

[This works on the theory that rewarding good behaviour - through verbal praise, physical affection or treats such as sweets and toys - is far more effective than punishing bad behaviour.]

I'm 'old school', I do not believe bribing a child to behave is the thing to do.

Praise and affection should always be used but a child should be taught to behave because it is the 'right thing', not to earn a treat.

I have known mothers who tell their children, "if you are good at the store I'll buy you a toy". We don't get 'treats' for how we behave all our lives. It's all about learning what's right and what's wrong.

This is also what has happened in our schools. No bad grades or Johnny might feel bad. Every body is a 'winner'. --Wait till they get out in the real world!
