Lilly Meets LuLu, Part 3
You know I had to dissect the one instance from our time with LuLu where Lilly gave the youngster a correction. I’m glad I got it on video so that I could really look at the sequence. I’m calling it Anatomy of a Puppy Correction. While I’ve broken out clips and added transitions, which make the video around 2:30 minutes, the actual encounter was just over 1 minute in real time. I’m not sure if it’s a matter of too many running bumps in quick succession or if there may have been razor-like puppy teeth used. I tend to think so since Lilly really whips around suddenly. So, this is either a lesson in Enough is Enough OR a lesson in Bite Inhibition (since pups need to learn just how hard they can and cannot chomp on their playmates).
Again, I muted the sound on everything except the real time clip of the correction because the constant praise of both dogs gets annoying. BUT, I wanted you to be able to hear that specific encounter. Then, you can watch it again in super-slow-motion and see just what Lilly did in response.
Ultimately, there was no harm, no foul. Just an adult dog teaching a pup a thing or two. At least, that’s how it seemed to me and Betsy (the two dog moms present).
(Side Note: I spent a lot of time as a kid with my mom’s mom who watched a lot of The Lawrence Welk Show, hence the ah one, ah two.)
Without further ado, I present Anatomy of a Puppy Correction:
