I have a small jack Russell who came with her name, Pitu. Her care giver passed on, and I adopted her.
She was a bit skittish at firs. She shook in place which made me worry for a time. Then after aou three days she began to warm up to me, and then jump up onmy char next to me.
I discovered rubbing her tummy. She cannot get enough, so I decided that wuld be her therapy. I would tell her to do things in English, Spanish, France andsomewords in Catalan, and it seems she understood everything I would say. All I can figure is it is by the tonemore than by the words, but it is uncanny.
Because she quickly became devoted to me with terrible separation syndrome when I needto go to the store or whatever chore, my owncare for her has become my main occupation much of the time. I have learned about unconditional love from this little girl, and because of this I cannot do anything to discipline her other than to say "mala chica" or bad girl, and then hold her and caress her.
She respondsquite well to just saying she has been bad . I can see in her eyes, but most times I hold her and pet her and rub her tummy when I say it, and she seems to remedy anything she may "think" I believe is wrng.
This may be a badapproach with a doberman or a pit bull, but it works for me and I thank God for this loving gift every day.
