@pony Well I'm still awake and I have something to say here so I'm gonna say it. Here's a very important thing to note: you should never expect complete obedience from a pet (think of cats here; if complete obedience is something you want, then there's another word for that kind of relationship). Always remember that a pet is a living creature, NOT an object. And when it comes to THIS sort of pet, they are also an intelligent creature who may well be smarter than you are. Treat them with love and respect and they in turn will give you their trust (which, as with any pet, cannot be demanded and must be earned) and only with strong bonds of trust established will you see them obey you more readily and eagerly. Bottom line being they are a *companion* who only wants to make you happy but you have an obligation to make them happy too. If this sounds like good advice for any kind of pet, that's because it is! The only difference is that different creatures need to be cared for differently.
