Listen to the Dog

If your dog is generally well behaved then suddenly refuses to come to you, you might want to check and see if he if he is trying to let you know about some unwanted intruder.

I was very unhappy with my Border Collie when he refused to come the other day. I walked over and discovered him staring at a huge alligator who was interested in ME, thank you very much!

Let us just say I hit a speed I never thought possible on the way back to the house....Of course, running with the dog .... I beat the dog!

So again, people, LISTEN TO YOUR DOG.

Consider the dog body language. My dog had his tail a little bit crinked, which is a sign of some concern. It tells his pack leader, "Hey, you might want to see this!"

I saw, and I ran!
