Another great hike in the books. Yes it rained, yes it hailed. That meant we had the trails to ourselves.

I’ll probably try some others, but she’s determined. I have to moth ball my groundhog infestation anyway.

Does anyone know how to get my dog to stop fixating on what might be mice in the walls, or the groundhog that’s tunnelled under my shed? She still spent over an hour obsessively sniffing and biting at the walls of my garage, despite my attempts at making it aversive to indulge this behaviour.

She doesn’t respond to food or toys. We can’t get her to go to the bathroom in the fenced yard because she spends the entire time desperately sniffing and biting at these areas.

I am trying to evict my critters, but I don’t see her giving up in the mean time 🤦‍♀️

#mp #Geneva #I’ve been putting my dog trainer skills to the test with this one #we tried barricading the area #she spent her time figuring out how to get past it #I hopped letting her just indulge would work #cause she’d realize she can’t get what she wants #and grow bored #it’s been over a week #she’s been keeping me company for hours #while I work in the garage #and she will spend the entire time doing this #I don’t want to correct her #I want her to learn this behaviour doesn’t pay out #and other behaviours are a better use of her time #but she doesn’t agree!

A meander through the woods with Flynn... I always forget how magical the woods are in spring, when the wildflowers reappear & new leaves are growing on the trees. Amazingly, despite it being the weekend - & also not raining, we had the place to ourselves too, we didn't pass anyone else at all. Our only company were squirrels, songbirds, bees & butterflies. Bliss!

She’s truly so comfortable at all times. What is her secret?
