Same thing with Piper--she'll come when called in the house, but the couple of times she dashed outside, I had to dash after her...Thank goodness her little beak caused her to stop and investigate some mysterious scent! Piper has learned that when someone comes to the door, it won't get opened until she's in my arms. It's funny and cute to watch her start to head for the door, but then come running back to me, bouncing and twirling--in a big hurry to be picked-up so we CAN OPEN THE DANG DOOR!!! I would do whatever it takes to ensure you little ones' safety; guests should respect and adhere to your instructions--whether or not they agree or understand. It's all about the pups and their well-being! |
