what thread would your dog open?

Here is one from my little ones:

Help , how can i improve my communication with my human?

Hey guys, i have a problem for some reason my human does not understand the simplest commands, i really try hard in different ways to communicate do my human what I want , she just does not get it.
For example: when there are rabbits or squirrels outside, and they run arround in our yard, wich they really do not belong... I whine bark and scratch on the door to tell my human" i have to go outside open the screen door", but what happens? she closes the other door so i can't even look through the screen dor anymore and see what them trespassers do in my yard, then I have to move to the window, and even jumping on her back and licking her just does not work, she really ignors me, i don't know what to do about that...

or the fact that she does not feed me 16 times a day, i even try to feed myself by going into the trashcan, but she just does not get it. she puts it away, now she even moved the trashcan into the garage, i just wanted to tell her that i need more food!!!

Guys do you have any ideas how to train my human, i really am on the end of my wisdom..
ok i have to give my human crdit, she feeds good food, takes me for walks, and we even have a playground in the backyard, and we do all kinds of fun things when we go to that other place with other dogs...
We didn't have to work to hard on teaching my human to go there on a regular basis, and the walks are fine, too. we even trained her in summer to take us swimming a lot... so well she is not all that bad....

Guys! How do I train my human to join my Arooing? If i do it in the house, she laughs at me and ignores my hurt look and if I do it outside she doesn't respond at all unless it's dark. In the dark, she hushes me!! How do I get her to realize that I just really LIKE Arooing? Doesn't she hear the melody I produce? Even warbling directly in her face doesn't get her to join in the fun and if she is doing that pitchy thing with the music and I join her she stops and laughs. Help!

Jesse's thread.

How can I get my human to understand that I own the house and everything in it, that includes the food!

Now, I'm an old man. So I don't have time to be farting about with all this retraining business. However I have a problem with my human (well, I have several most of them involving too much hugging and getting that darn camera outta my face...but this is the big one), she seems to believe that the house and everything in it belongs her and her father.
She's contantly taking up space on the couch and placing food in places this old man Chihuahua can't reach. The smell of the food is driving me crazy. And THEN lately she's been assulting me by taking hold of my muzzle and shoving a pill down my throat twice a day...not to mention the disgusting liquid she squirts in my mouth at night. I hear that crazy woman cooing at me telling me that it's medicine time and no matter how angry I get she still human-handles me until I've got not choice.
And don't even get me started on the visits to the doctor. That thermometer is NOT my best friend.
So, anyone got any ideas how I can force this stupid human to realise that I'm the boss and this is my property that she's very lucky she lives on?

Jesse.

Angel - I've got everything else licked, I sleep on the couches, I get tucked in at night, get to go outside anytime I ask... How do I get my human to give me all the food I want???

Tweeder - Rabits... I LOVE rabits... why won't my human let me chase them and bring them back into the house... They are a chew toy right??? So what can I do to change this??

Brandy - how do I convince my human that 65 pounds is NOT too big to be a lap dog?

Daisy: How do get my human to stay off the couch? I have tried climbing ontop of her , licking her , pushing her and yet she STILL insists on sittingup there. Also, when ever she is up there, she will not put on sesame street for me.

Shamous: I have a terrible problem with my human taing shoes, underware and sock out of my mouth. She keeps telling me to drop, it and leave it then she takes them away and shuts the bathroom door. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Sheiba: Excuse me, but how do I get my humans to understand that I am a PRINCESS and I should get WHATEVER I want??? I howl to tell them I want the cookie they are eating and they say that I can't have it. I howl to tell them I want some chicken and they tell me that I have to eat my dog food. Is this not a serious problem? Should I contact their doctor to find out if it is anything medical?? They really need to update their history and realize that it's my house... sheesh.

Denali: My humans don't let me hord all of the stuffed toys when they bring them home. I insist that they are all MINE, but they just don't listen. They only let me have one. I try to go over and take someone else's and by the time I get back to my spot, the one I had is missing Why do they do this??

Ike: My humans won't let me have a nice romp whenever I get bored. I've become notorious for jumping the fence now, and I like to go to the lake for a good swim, but they always come find me and bring me back home. How can I make my humans understand that I will be just fine going out for a run or swim???

Kelso: My humans like to give me a stupid bath which makes me smell all nice. I love to go outside and roll in the grass or dirt, especially after a bath. Why don't humans like us to get all dirty and smelly? I think it's very attractive for other dogs --- but the minute I get stinky or dirty, they stick me in the tub full of water and "frilly" smelling soap. Is this an obession they have???
