TatumsMom | 05-01-2006 05:17 AM | We didn't try the bell but we tried the doggie doorbell thing that they step on to make it "woof" or ring like a doorbell. Maybe we didn't try diligently enough but Tatum never picked up on it. Tatum would also just sit at the door not making a sound and if you missed it, your fault! Fortunately she has finally started talking to us about going out. At my MIL's house where we were living while building our new house, you couldn't see the door she would sit at from anywhere else in the house so I think that was the main problem. Finally a few months ago she started sitting at the door (in our new house) and doing the "talking growl". Now she even will come sit at your feet and give you a "yip" if you don't hear her growl at the door. I'm so excited but this has been a very long process! |
