These are most of the pictures I bought from the trial. I usually dont buy so many but you got 10 for the same price if I bought 5.
Miley has quirks. These quirks cause her to have aversions to things. First she hates the car. Im not sure why. She has never appeared to be car sick. No vomiting, drooling or panting. Her breeder had her in the car frequently as a tiny baby. The only thing I can think of is when she was 13 weeks old she got Parvo. The vet would let me take her home every evening since no one would be in the office during the night. So I'm just guessing but maybe it had to do with going to the vet everyday for 5 days straight and getting IV 's, shots and SQ fluids. So if she thinks we are going in the car she wont come to me. This is a problem since we go in the car alot. I take them to the park or field almost everyday. Then the leash got involved. She started associating the leash with going to the car. Which led to her not coming to me at the end of a run because I would put the leash on. (this also happens else where when needing to put a leash on) So I retrained all that with a clicker and "come close" command. I have a special leash that I only use for agility and never use it to go to the car. ( at leash I try to. I do remember making the mistake one time of going to the car with special leash on). See quirks.
Another quirk is when walking in the woods. If a piece of pine straw or other forest material gets stuck on her back legs fringe area she stops walking and wont move. She just stands there and all the pulling in the world wont make her move. I now know to check her back fringe area and as soon as the offensive item is removed, she resumes walking again. How much can a leaf or pine straw bother a dog. The last quirk I can think of is, there are times after being in the back yard that she will act like she is scared of me. If I go to the back door she wont come in. If Im sitting on the couch , she will come in but just acts like she is scared of me and will dart out the doggie door if I get up. I now know that when she acts like this, it means she has poop stuck to her rear end. I keep her clipped back there but it still seems to happen. The reason she acts scared of me is she doesnt want to get in the shower and get washed. We have a removable shower head so its easy to clean the dogs in there. She hates it. So you can see how she links these things together.And if she doesnt like what ever it is, she isnt going to do it no matter how many cookies you have. I just wish I could figure out the thing that has made the table a problem. Then I could fix it.
