Roxy has started doing this same type of things. A few days ago she grabbed dhs cell phone off a stand while he was busy in kitchen. She raced out her doggie door at the speed of a bullet with it. She knows the phone is a 'leave it' item. He started yelling at her & followed her outside. He got so p***ed & came back in. Once I got my shoes on, I went out for a diversion game to get the phone. She was on her way back into the house & phone laying at foot of the steps. If he wasn't going to chase her, where's the game?
A couple days later I went to put her collar on after a bath. She grabbed it out of my hand sooo quick, ran for her doggie door again. I didn't follow her right away. Next thing I know, the collar laid on the floor by my chair. Ahhh, so that's the secret now. Ignore & there's no game. Of course next week it will be something different I'm sure. lol
I'm also trying to train dh to not get so upset & yell. I think that's my biggest challenge. : ) |
