courtnek Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 As you know, Laurel has peripheral vision problems..it's basically non-existant...she would bay and growl whenever anyone comes down to use the bathroom...outside of my room where she sleeps. She would bay, growl and make tons of noise until I told her to shut up. I noticed that if the person identified themselves, "It's ok Laurel, it's just me" she would calm down. Kyle is bad at that, but his friends picked it up and went with it. (and yes, there are kids here every weekend) so I suggested to Kyle that he come down, and while still out of view he announce himself. "Morning Laurel" was what I suggested, and it seems to be workiing.... as long as she recognizes the voice she will chill out and calm down. Maybe I can make this work....Never been in this situation before. "creative training" is all I can call it... :lol: Quote
Marble Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 that's awesome! it takes some creativity sometimes doesn't it....:) glad that is working. Quote
kendalyn Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 That's a great idea! And it lets Kyle know that she isn't afraid of him, she just never knew who was coming. Quote
