I'm not talking about huge pieces of chicken, but rather little nibbles. And of course I'm talking COMPLETELY cooked, no breading or anything, just chicken. The thing is, Kelli is finally feeling better...she's not yelping as much and she seems to be feeling so, so much like her old self. She still has her moments, but not nearly as bad as last week. Anyway, she's just starting to come around again, be more trusting....except when it's just ME in the house for some reason, she has a tendency to not want to go outside for me. She looks at me as if I'm going to lure her into some deep, dark cave, lol. BUT, I found a trick...
Last night, I made chicken for dinner. Kelli LOVES it (as she had a taste last night while we were eating), I take a TINY piece of it and show her that I have it in my hand, she comes with me outside and I'm finally able to get her to go out that way....I know it seems mean probably, but it's better than her staying inside and pottying on herself (which she did yesterday because she just wouldn't go out for me
I'm hoping this passes as she realizes the hurt is gone, because she wasn't like this before she got injured) - so I just wondered, am I doing something horribly wrong by giving her a tiny piece (and I do mean tiny, I shred it in my fingers and she gets just a few strands at a time) as insentive to go outside? She's not expecting it all the time, which is good, she only seems to expect it when I'm the one that lets her out, lol. She looks at me as if to say, "okay woman, where's the goody?" lol.
Opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
