Livvie’s enrichment plan: lock, sniff, YELL A LOT. my words from 2022 still resonate:
Livvie.
9 years ago, I couldn’t have foretold the story she’d help me create. She’s been behaviorally ‘easy,’ yet oh so damned difficult.
My first working dog and I didn’t know it.
She brought me into the world of scentwork.
She helped me create a life of dialogue with dogs, not stage management or dictatorship.
She’s incredibly healthy yet the one who’s seen more vets in a2 than all of my dogs because of the trouble she creates. 🙄
She drives me *insane* and is the reason I make sure everyone’s enrichment plans* are met. (Because if Livvie isn’t happy, we ALL know it!)
Yes, the is *FAR* more challenging than the 3 .
And NINE years ago, I signed an adoption contract. I’m grateful for the trainer she’s pushed me to become.
* our enrichment plan is simple. Have they: chewed, sniffed, licked, destroyed today?
