š¾ Hi! My name is Luka! š¾
Iām a 4-year-old Chihuahua, and apparently my mom thinks itās time for me to learn a few things! š¤£
Now, personally, I think I run a pretty tight ship, but Mom says we have a few things to work on. š
First off, I have LOTS to say! Someone walks by my house? I have to let everyone know. Someone knocks on the door? Oh, you better believe Iām announcing their arrival! š¢
And strangers? Well, I just need a few minutes to decide if I like you. Once I realize youāre cool, weāre good! But please donāt come running up trying to pet me. I like my personal space. š
Apparently, I also need to work on this thing called leash manners because pulling Mom around isnāt exactly what she had in mind.
Oh, and weāre working on potty training and crate skills too. I guess being 4 doesnāt mean Iām too old to learn some new tricks!
So hereās what Iām learning during my stay at Small Town K9! š¾
š¶ Building confidence around new people and dogs
š¶ Learning to be neutral instead of having an opinion about EVERYTHING
š¶ Leash manners without all the pulling
š¶ A calmer mindset when the world gets a little exciting
š¶ Crate skills and a consistent potty routine
š¶ Learning that not every knock, stranger, or passing dog needs an announcement
My trainer says weāre going to take things at my pace, build my confidence, and help me understand that I donāt have to worry about everything going on around me.
She also says the goal isnāt to make me love every person or dog I see. Itās to help me feel comfortable, make better choices, and just enjoy life with my family.
So wish me luck! Iām a little guy with a BIG personality, and apparently weāre learning how to put all that personality to good use! š¤ š¾
Welcome to Small Town K9, Luka! š¤
