I just wanted to share this feel good aspect of my dog’s behavior. She’s a mutt rescue and had a lot of anxiety and behavioral issues since rescued her. She regressed for some time in her potty training, but we’ve gotten back on track and she’s an absolute STAR.
The sweet and thoughtful part: she’s trained to paw at me she’s ready to go outside, but she taught herself that if I am asleep in bed, it’s more gentle and considerate to lick my face until I wake up to take her potty. I didn’t train this into her, it was completely her decision and it melts my heart every morning.
I’m so proud of my girl.
