My dog loses her mind when I go to put a collar on her. She gets this excited and crazed look in her eyes and cannot sit still. She whines and practically hops around so that it takes me forever to get the thing on her. I stop and give the command to sit. She sits up at attention and is perfectly still, but the second I try to put the collar on again, she loses her mind again.
The reason that she does this is because she equates the collar with fun time. I give undivided attention to her and she gets to run and pick things up for me during her training. She loves to please me.
My heart beats faster and I get a little breathless when you tell me to go put a toy in. This means that you will be giving me some much needed and undivided attention. I live to please you and love our play time. To hear you call me your good girl and bask in your love is sheer heaven.
I can't be mad at the silly dog because I know why she acts this way. Funny how these things pop into my head, but then I think of you always. I know that thrill and happiness, so I try to be as patient with her as you are with me.
