So today I was in my room, and suddenly there was an urgent scratching....not a regular scratch... but a "Hurry up mommy!" scratching and whining and crying all at the same time at my door. (My and CoCo's room is in the basement.) I opened up the door, and she quickly ran up the bed and curled into a ball.... I figured she was sleepy.... Didnt think nothing of it...
Then when I saw my father, he told me that him and CoCo were out front doing yard work (she's the stupidvisor.) And our new neighbor who just moved in down the block had their huge dog out.....and went chasing after CoCo! CoCo ran into the backyard and tried to go through her doggy door, but it was closed! Good thing the dog just sniffed her.....but my poor dog was probably so terrified! (She's VERY submissive!)
She ended up staying in my room for about 4 hours afterwards!
The neighbor came over and apologized, and introduced himself to my father and stuff..... but I hope this doesnt happen again! To think of another dog on HER terrirtory!
Oh yeah... I have a brag. Yesterday I went to get the mail, and CoCo always walk to the mailbox with me, and someone was walking down the sidewalk.... as usual CoCo started wagging her tail and ran towards the man to say "Hello." Right away, I said "CoCo! Come here!" And she actually left the man alone and came to me!!!!
Her recall is pretty darn good...but this is the first time there was a distraction she was already after... and I called her off!
I hope it works on little animals too....and not just people.... lol
