the backstory is that jean has gotten really head shy over the years, to the point where she would run away anytime i got her collar out. lo and behold, turning this into a “trick” worked like a charm. now she’s happy and excited every time she sees her collar, and it has become one of our best recall tools.
you’ll notice i also often treat her when i take the collar off, so she wants to stick around after i remove her collar rather than bolting away from me. this is especially important since she’s a sporting dog (agility and fast CAT).
at the end are some tricks she already knows, just for fun. :)
it does! i often call it her “pig tail,” haha. jean also has some russel terrier in her according to her DNA results… but she’s a pretty diverse mishmash of breeds.
I’m just now realizing chi is short for chihuahua 🤦♂️. AFAIK, mine’s mostly russell terrier with something that gives her the curly tail.
She’s a rescue, so I really should do a DNA test to both settle my curiosity and be aware of any breed-specific health issues she might face down the line.
Dog tax:
Big dog, Daisy Johnson, is 9, little dog, Pepper Potts, is 1.
absolute cuties!
They’re adorable!
Thanks! Hard to get a non-blurry picture of them together unless they’re curled up napping. They’re total sisters and are either beating the crap out of each other or curled up together taking a nap between rounds 😄
