Waiting for the guests to come |
-Saturday was a big stressful day for her as she had to go to the vet for her Bordetella (having guests over would be less stressful)
-Sunday I gave her puzzle time before the guests came
-Each guest had her sit and go down and gave her a cookie before they left the front hall
-There were no children at the party
-People weren't moving in and out and all around (we hung in the kitchen, the living room and the dining room)
I think this combo, especially with the Man's idea to have each guest give her a treat helped.
We will definitely do a similar thing next time we have people over.
YAY HAILEY!
Well the cookie giving thing is so thoughtful i may use this technique :D

That was exactly the right thing to do.....that is the best way to encourage her to interact with guests...well done!

ReplyDeleteDear Lee,
ReplyDeletePawesome job, well done my friend! People bringing treats helps. My person arms guests with chicken for me sometimes, so I try to be Good and not too grouchy. But some people are just scary, you know? Especially kids!
