Ye, Holly'll run away from someone if they are shouting... apart from when you're recalling her in the park as you have to shout. But in the house, she will only respond to a firm tone, not shouting.

When we went to the breeder's house for Holly, I didn't really like the fact that my OH's mom decided to bring her granddaughter, and she couldn't get her to sit on the floor, however I went over to her, she was almost 5 at the time, and just said "if you want to hold a pup you'll have to sit on the floor..." she looked at me as if to say "no way", so I just said "so you don't want to hold the fluffy animal", so she sat, then I placed Holly (at 3 weeks) on her lap and said "be gentle, like you are with Snowdrop (our hammy)", she was great. Even the breeder was impressed, and she laughed at my OH's mom as she couldn't control her own granddaughter haha...

oops, rant, sorry xx
