@missy1221 This is my personal experience as well. I remember always walking during the night as a child and still always wake during the night as an adult. TBF, as a 7-9 year old, I used to wake and call my parents every night, so I can imagine them considering "sleep training" then! (All...

@acuriousgirl Yeah, TBF, I could totally see my son doing this too!

@acuriousgirl I'm wondering if modelling would help here? What if you did something that you do you calm down without really engaging with her, but in the same space? Sitting and taking some deep breaths, or closing your eyes and calmly and quietly counting down from 10? Just an idea, YMMV!

@joyandhope Oh gosh, this is me too! I can relate to this whole post!

@ctay6318 While I get what you're saying, I do think OP's approach could help, in that sometimes people need to know what the alternatives are. Thinking through specific scenarios, and talking about what you can do to address them instead of spanking could help OP's husband understand the "how"...

@nonamend Actually, TBF, this probably does depend on your location. Where I live anybody who has a dog would almost certainly take it to a public park every day. So a lot of different dogs are using any given park every day. I'll acknowledge that there could be a different situation elsewhere.

@wyatt1525 Whatever risk is in your own yard will only be worse in a public park or at the beach, where there are multiple unknown dogs doing their business.

@servantheart I don't think this is a dumb question, and I'd also like to know the answer!

@crocodilehuricane Thanks for the source!
