Stella got spayed on Tuesday and she's still acting like a rebellious teenager...she's definitely "taken a step back" in training this week too! Last week I had her reliably trained for sit, down, stay, speak, quiet, drop it, leave it, spin, play dead...and this week I might as well be speaking a foreign language to her. So the trainer will be disappointed tomorrow, but I think once she gets off the pain meds and settles down a bit she'll come around. Oh, and she had her first accident in over a month this morning (although I know it was NOT an accident, because she managed to spread parts of her #2 all over the living room!)--I was so mad at her!
I'm sure they go back to "normal" eventually, I think the surgery just throws them off a bit. |
