RE: Bailey's Second Trip To The Vet
Lovely to see him thriving. He sure got a lesson in manners, boundaries & behavior from that one dog. Seemed to respond well, so that's good.
Has a charming personality, I bet he'll find his forever home easily. Glad he was smart enough to get to you in the meantime!
:)
Yes! That's exactly why I included that clip. :-) He responded perfectly to the doggie discipline, which shows a very bright mind! Paige, the little white and black dog, is my personal dog and our rescue's diplomat. She has extraordinary social insight with other dogs, can defuse arguments and make peace with consummate skill. She is also a great disciplinarian and doesn't take it too far to the point of aggression. You can see her glance at me in the video to make sure I'm okay with the action she took. I replaced the audio with silly music, but in the original video, you can hear me telling her what a good job she did. :-)
Yeah she's a good girl. She tolerated the puppy enthusiasm a decent amount but she sure had him sitting down with a respectful "yes, ma'am!" when the borderline dominating behavior got too far.
Love smart receptive dogs like that.
I'd love to see a children's book (series) about Paige the diplomat and each new dog who comes in with its own unique story.
Paige could certainly teach some life lessons. :-)
