Two videos from last Monday. First Dhali's first time trying to learn 2o2o. Also in the middle there is a quick little bit of the new trick I taught him. I point at a foot and he lifts it. I LOVE how he doesn't get frustrated and give up - he just keeps on trying! Even when he stops and barks at me, then he will come back and try again. Usually after a bark break something clicks and he'll do whatever I'm asking for. This week the foot trick has progressed to a full wave with both feet and next I want to try to get him to drum - he's done it a couple times by accident. Also his sit up is getting better.
Tibby has been watching him learn this foot trick and now she tries to offer it too :P They're smart.
2nd video is of us playing with a roll of painter's tape. He likes to chase it and tug on it. It was the first thing I could get him to chase and bring back when he was a puppy. It rolls really nicely and fast, which he likes.
Independent, curious, highly intelligent,clever, mischievous, precocious, strong-minded, playful. Collected from various sources:
1 -Stubbornness. Tibetan Terriers have an independent mind of their own and can be stubborn and manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
2-Suspiciousness or timidity when not socialized enough.
3-"Separation anxiety" (destructiveness and barking) when left alone too much.
4-Lively and playful at times, yet also calm and low-key.
5-Makes a good watchdog but is not aggressive with people.
6-Most are amiable with other animals, though perhaps a bit bossy.
7- The Tibetan Terrier is very stubborn in general and must be shown from Day One that you are in control.
8-An athletic and agile sure-footed climber, and a clever problem-solver who often uses his paws with great adeptness to open doors and hold toys.
9- 1/3 Dog + 1/3 Cat + 1/3 Teenager = 1 Tibetan Terrier
10-Tibetan Terriers are family-oriented: they love to play games and participate in activities with their people.
Patience and a sense of humor are musts for the people of a Tibetan Terrier.
