They are just too fascinating to leave them alone, but she actually got so she would just thinking about going after them, look at me, and change her own mind. I was sure happy about that as I didn't want to have to deal with her getting stung. I don't like her going after all the other creepies out there, but I know if I saw her going after something I could probably get her to 'leave it'. She is always in 'hunt' mode... even in the house. I told my son he needed to take her hunting with his beagle who doesn't get the hunt instinct so he could learn from her. Ha! LOL!!! |
My Tibbe is a little hunter, too and I don't know what he hunts for outside in the grass as all I ever see outside here are ants and flies, but inside, it is whatever is on the floor! He's excellent with the "Leave it" command also.
But outside, he grazes in the grass endlessly and has the time of his life in his yard hunting first one thing and then the other.
