Shelby vs Liberty



We had it so easy with Shelby! The few times she ever did something naughty we said no and she never did it again. Liberty, on the other hand, is a repeat offender and we've resorted to a little time out area for 1 minute, then we show her what is a "no no" again and tell her so firmly. Today she did something naughty and I stood there with my hands on my hips without saying a word and she put her head down and slowly walked to time out. I tried so hard not to laugh! When her minute was up I said "ok" and she went right over to what she knew she had done and sat and waited for me to talk to her. I think it's time to figure out a new discipline technique!

We LOVE Miss Liberty, don't get me wrong! She is super smart! We put a bell on the door for her to ring so we could know when she needed to go out to go potty and she just figured it out! Shelby on the other hand will sit quietly by the door for 30 minutes then finally ring the bell. The girls are night and day different, that's all. Shelby is very passive and listens incredibly well. Liberty rules the roost and has selective hearing. We love their unique personalities though and wouldn't have it any other way!
