6. More concerned about volune eating than discipline.

Most treats need to be limited because they can cause damage - see the jerky dog treats taht can cause kidney damage if fed more than advised (or maybe at all - don't give them to my 15 year old puppy). Treats are not meant to substitute for food.

ETA - Frowning at my dog makes her feel bad, I guess I try to bribe her (positive reinforcement) more than discipline her. Could be worse I was cat/dog sitting for a neighbor and she left a bad of catnip out, the cat ripped into it, and terrorized the dog, there was cat crap all over the house and all sorts of damage, took the dog to my house, cleaned up the remaining cat nip and locked the cat in for a day until it was safe to re-enter the house, then the cat slept for 2 days, heh, as I cleaned up.
