Wow. I just finished posting the thing about hugs and jealousy when I realized the total shift I have gone through with regard to Nala. I have stopped wondering how to "make" her do things and instead try to "help her to learn" how to do things (or help her WANT to do them).

For instance, instead of making her stop chasing the cats, I am trying to help her learn self-control. Of course, since cat-chasing is intrinsically very rewarding to her, I still have to figure out how to make NOT chasing be even more rewarding. But we'll figure it out eventually!
