Back to puppy school

Yeah... it's back to puppy school for me, mommy says! Apparently I've become a tiny bit "unruly," and by that, I mean I only listen to mommy (or whoever is in charge) when I feel like it. Strange huh?? Those humans want to be in charge. Hmph!

The plan my mommy says we're following is called "NILIF" which is short for Nothing In Life Is Free. Here is what we're doing

3/4 cup kibble in the morning, handfed, only after humans are done eating.
3/4 cup kibble in the evening, handfed, only after humans are done eating.
Must sit, and stay seated, while humans enter a building, then I will be called.
Must sit, and stay seated, while humans exit a building, then I will be called.
Must sit before being allowed to enter a car.
Must sit before being allowed to exit a car while human reaches for leash.
Only allowed a few basic toys in the toy box, the most desirable toys are kept for when mommy wants to play and mommy both starts and stops playtime.
No more sleeping in mommy's bed. :-(
No more sleeping on the couch. (!!!!)

Mommy says doing the above will help me become more reliant on humans, and realize that humans are the leader, and therefore become more obedient. It's gonna be a shock at first.. even though mommy plans to implement this stuff in slow doses... but I think I can survive... maybe...
