Thanks for the advice! Roxie gets lots of walks. She is very active. Honestly, I don't walk her far in the morning because I am NOT a morning person and I have to be at work at 8 am. I do try to stay very calm around her, especially when I'm leaving. I try to move slowly, but deliberately and quietly. She usually knows it's coming and is hypersensitive to any of my movements. She usually begins to freak out whenever I put my shoes on. When I come home, I don't act very excited. I usually just open the door and let her go out and tell her to go potty (she's usually freaking out and I'm just telling her not to jump). I put all my stuff down and come in the house and sit down and then I will let her on my lap, but I don't make a big fuss about it. |
