I had to laugh with your description of Beanie jumping around so much in his seat - Charlie gets all twisted around when he goes into that mode. Someday a member will pipe in with a working solution that we both can use. For now - I have a box full of " solutions" that have worked for other members but not for Charlie! Thanks again for sharing your experience. |
So, I was walking Beanie today and came across a woman with her dog Max. She was the first person that I encountered when I got Beanie and started walking her. Beanie is my first dog, so I am a total novice (ya, I got a Yorkie, duhhhh). Anyway, I hadn't seen her and Max for a very long time as my office has moved and I can't got home for lunch and take Beanie for a walk around my neighborhood. I now just take her to work (yes I am very lucky, everyone in work LOVES her and when I leave her home they ask me where is Beanie), so I haven't had the opportunity to see my neighbors and their dogs. Anyway, this dog owner was very nice as Beanie was GOING FREAKIN NUTS and I brought her over to Max, stooped down and patted her while she went near him and lo and behold, SHE CALMED DOWN!! My neighbor was so nice and suggested that maybe this is what I should do, allow Beanie to go up to a dog and be nuts, but just stoop down and pat her and show her that the dog is isn't going to hurt either one of us.
Anyway, I thought I would share this with you. I feel your "pain". LOL
