| A picture of Lee demanding love - this is the perfect belly rub position |
After a bit (once everyone had sort of settled), we coached the boys to deal with her. We taught the boys to be assertive with Hailey and Hailey started to listen. It helped that they were giving her treats and chips. So while she didn't want them to touch her and she still wanted to keep her distance, she did calm down.
I was so proud of her! Her calming down was rewarded with a thunderstorm that made her extra nervous, but she did so much better with the kids! I of course forgot to take pictures.

Woohoo. Good job Hailey handling all dat stress. Next time when they visit… it will be easier.
ReplyDeleteYikes…. Pet expenses for Aug. I'm glad Mom doesn't keep track of mine. On the other hand… I'm sure I've not nothing to worry about cuz her peep expenses would be BIGGER.

Good job Hailey. We are nuts when our little grandmonsters first walk in the house but after about 5 min. we calm down and lay by them, or sit on their laps or go play with them. Its just that we love them soooo much that we get really excited. When they don't calm down tho , we don't either so it is a two way street. Good job Hailey!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat for Hailey!!! Sounds like progress.
ReplyDeleteYikes for the expenses.

Good job, Hailey! Beamer isn't a fan of kids, either, but he'll tolerate them if they feed him. Cheeky bugger.
ReplyDeleteWe had an expensive month, too...annual vet check ups and needles.
ReplyDeleteGood for Hailey--kids can be sooooo difficult. Most don't listen when they're told how to behave around pups. Glad the treats and chips helped. Too bad about the storm..unfair.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Yay Hailey! Great job! I think it's awesome that you got the kids' to help out with this.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Hailey did well with the kids. We love her technique for getting belly scratches. We do something similar when our dad is laying on the bed watching TV.

YAY Hailey!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
We WILL come by tomorrow! And yes my cats enjoyed their food! You have CATS?!
ReplyDeleteI have to warm up to kids myself but it helps if they give me treats. I'll stop by tomorrow seen you then.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
You're worth every penny!!! I hope my Human doesn't start keeping a running total like that though. I'm not that nice and she might begin to think. . . But no, she wouldn't -- would she????
ReplyDeleteso many expenses!!! But glad you were able to have a good lesson with Hailey and the kids :)
ReplyDeleteWe hope you had a great time with your friends! So sweet
ReplyDeleteWay to go Hailey, I bark at little people and strangers in the house xx00xx
