Molly walks?
I think I told you that I'm looking to add another dog to the family - well on Monday a lady came over from Dachshund Rescue to check out my house and Molly. It was very interesting. She actually took time to go on a little walk with Molly (and a little dog she was fostering) so she could observe Molly in her natural surroundings. She thinks Molly would do better with a submissive male (wouldn't we all - LOL) because Molly is very alpha. The interesting part - through the whole outdoor visit Molly barked at EVERY dog that went by. She was a wild dog! She was okay with the little Doxie but any dog that came near us Molly had to confront - she was even sitting as if she was guarding us - looking at the open field and scanning for things coming toward us. On Tuesday Molly and I were walking and we met this little lhasa that we hadn't seen before - when Molly went to sniff her I had to restrain Molly because I thought Molly was going to take her head off (which is unusual for Molly, she barks but she usually doesn't charge) so I had to do the Cesar Milan "sound". Molly snapped to attention and looked at me as if I'd used some secret dog word! She calmed down instantly! I then put her in a down and we chatted with the lady and the little dog. Molly was less frenzied but still wouldn't sniff the dog without a confrontation.
