A Dog's Bad Habit | 狗狗的坏习惯

English Original

As a professional animal trainer, I was troubled when my own dog developed a bad habit. Every time I hung my laundry on the clothesline, she would yank it down. Drastic action was needed.

I hung a white kitchen towel on the line and waited. Each time she pulled it off, I scolded her. After two weeks, she left the towel alone. Then, I hung out a large load of laundry and left to run some errands. When I returned home, my clean clothes were scattered all over the yard. On the line was only the white kitchen towel.


中文翻译

作为一名专业的动物训练师,我为自己狗狗养成的一个坏习惯感到困扰。每次我把洗好的衣物晾在绳子上,它总会猛地把它们全扯下来。必须采取严厉措施了。

我在晾衣绳上挂了一条白色的厨房毛巾,然后等着。每次它把毛巾扯下来,我都会训斥它。两周后,它再也不碰那条毛巾了。于是,我晾了一大堆洗好的衣物,便出门办事了。当我回到家时,干净的衣物散落在院子的各个角落。晾衣绳上,只剩下那条白色的厨房毛巾。
