Maggie the Watch Dog

I had a thrilling moment in dog behavior this morning. While I was getting dressed, I heard an odd noise. Nothing scary, just a distinct sound, like a clack. Maggie noticed it too so I asked "what's that?". She cocked her head to the side (so cute! :hearts: ) I then said "Go see!" and she ran down the stairs barking loudly. After a moment, I said "OK, thanks Maggie!" and she immediately stopped barking and ran up the stairs back to me.

I was so ecstatic because she seemed to understand perfectly. I praised her lavishly. I have no idea really how she got it right but it was an awesome moment.

That's great behavior!

Come train Mulligan!
Way to go Maggie!!!!

Dudley MIGHT stir off the love seat and Murphy MAy lift his head at the odd sounds... not great watchdogs...
That's awesome Val!

Dancer is so much better than she used to be about barking at people at the door, she's fine now, but Sky has taken up that "job" and she's louder. :roll:
My crew runs to the door if a doorbell on television rings.


Oh, they like The Dog Whisperer, too, or anything with small children or dogs. The puppies find it facinating.
Way to go Maggie!

I love it when stuff clicks. I walk around all day as proud as can be. :idea:
Scruffy barks at the wall where the dorbell is mounted, rather than the door when it rings. She's not the smartest cookie in the jar, but she sure makes me laugh.
'Atta girl, Maggie!! Keep Mommy and Chum safe! :lol:
