We've had Daisy for going on 8 years now. She is definitely a special part of our family. She has to sleep with one of us every night, otherwise she'll mope and whine all night. Spoiled? Not my DaisyMae! haha
Daisy used to run off whenever we let her out to potty. Our oldest daughter decided to try something and started giving Daisy treats every time she went outside and came back without us having to call her over and over. This worked great! Infact, it has worked great for several years now. Daisy has figured out that she gets a treat every time she goes out. It's now a game for her. She'll go outside and walk around the house, then come back in. We followed her one day. That's all she did...walk around the house. However, once she got inside she was expecting her treat! Smart dog! She also has figured out that she can wee-wee on trip and then poo the next, getting a treat each time. Who says dogs aren't smart? Not me!!
I dread the day we lose DaisyMae. Tears will be shed by all who know her. She will be replace, I can't do without a dog in the house. It will take time, I'm sure, to be ready for another dog, but no dog will ever be able to take the place of our DaisyMae!!

LOL I think she has y'all trained when you think you have her trained! She definitely sounds like one smart dog!! (and your daughter is pretty smart for thinking of this too!)
Our Ernest is rescued too and it sounds like you have a very sweet dog.
