Pip my original is 14 months and Pixie the new one is 8 months.
I'm finally figuring out Pixie's quirks. She's a jumper when she gets nervous and has a few other tell tale signs. If I see something start to set her off I race to the fridge (or grab Pip and then race to the fridge) and get the super good smelling / tasting dog treat that comes in the tube and start feeding little pieces to both of them as a distraction.
This worked great for Thanksgiving, I kept an eye out and when I saw guests coming up the walk I just started feeding them, next thing you knew everyone was there and the dogs didn't even notice! |
