Guest LJS1993 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Today during our run on the ranch Freckles saw my mother at a distance picking apricots. Well, as we went down the path I could tell Freckles really wanted to go see her. However, what she did was trot down the road at about fifteen feet at a time, stop, turn back to look at me as I kept walking forward, then continue walking towards my mother as I was walking down the path. What was up with that? Also when I stopped, she stopped. It was very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoBC Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sounds like she was waiting for you to come. Black Jack does that with me all the time. He'll run up ahead of me, stop, look back, wait, then go on farther. I would say she was a good girl for not just taking off and seeing who she wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Freckles was just looking for the OK to go see Grandma. That's great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LJS1993 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yes she was a good pup. It was cool how she kept looking back at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Freckles LaLa Mom Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 She does it to me too...but she doesnt go that far ahead. I play 'retarded sheep' with her. When she's not looking I switch directions and take off running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon M Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 heh. If it was my mom "lances grandma" I dont think he would be so reserved. Id have to say something to keep him from running off, cause he loves his grandma as much as he loves me. All her fault, she spoils him.

loudlucky Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Wollie does that too! He'll walk a little bit in the direction he would want to go, and then turn back as to say "hurry up, slow poke!" LOL They are just sooooo adorable!!! I don't know of any other dog (certainly haven't owned one) that'll do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL They are just sooooo adorable!!! I don't know of any other dog (certainly haven't owned one) that'll do this A great behavior trait, Tucker does it when we walk on a leash when I leave it out to 10 ft, he gets to the end and stops and waits. And he always gets praised because I want him to not pull on the leash at all. Now I am getting him to do it in the yard, and then I point in which direction I am going next so he knows. I had a collie/lab mix when I lived in the farm years ago that I walked the fields with all the time. I had him so trained that he would run to the end of the field, turn around and wait for my point, to see what direction we would go next! I loved that and I am agressively teaching Tucker the same.
