As a dog, I get into trouble a lot!   I hate to say it, but it is in my nature to find that yummy left over in the garbage.  Can I help it if I had to dump everything else on the floor?  Shoes..... drool.... I maybe over a year old but I still love the shoes!  They are so fun to chew.   There are many ways I can get in trouble.  A big one for me, is barking when my buddy is leaves me alone.   All these and other scenarios get me in trouble.  The thing is, I dont' like being in trouble!  (who does?)  I feel bad and my tail goes down and I get a sad face and just want to be alone for awhile.  No one likes to be in trouble.   I have started to try and learn from my mistakes.  As a dog, if I do, I get a "good boy treat" which does help give me incentive to be good!  If I leave the shoes alone, and don't bark when somoene leaves, when they come home I get a better and big loving greeting.   Now when I do someting wrong and get a scolding, I remember it for the next time.I try to learn from my mistakes.  A few weeks ago I was scolded for pulling on my leash, since then I stoppped pulling on the leash and I don't get into trouble.  I learned from my mistakes!

As humans you too can learn from your mistakes.  If you do something wrong, evaluate what you did, change your habit, and if at all possible don't repeat the mistake!  We all can learn from our mistakes and implement steps not to repeat them.

(PS to this, I doubt I will ever learn to stay out of the garbage!)
