Selective Listening Skills

If you’re owned by a dachshund then you know exactly what the term “selective listening” is. And incase you’re unfamiliar, here’s a fun video of my selective listening skills in action…

What can I say, if you want me to do something it better be worth my while!

  1. My parents owned a doxie for a number of years and I agree…selective listening skills have been mastered by all doxies! I think it is a requirement that doxies agree to when they sign the “Doxie contract”…like the cat contract requires that all cats lay on freshly dried, clean clothes and get their hair all over them.

  2. Andy Wyatt…you try to claim he’s losing his hearing…apparently this selective hearing is common among these stubborn pups!

  3. LOL … Use magic words like treat or cookie … Otherwise it may not be worth their while.

  4. “Treats!” is a good start but 2 of the 5 could care less if they are in critter-chasing mode……Priorities!

  5. Moxie The-Doxie will not move, even for bribes like “cookie”, “cheese”, or “walkies”, if she does not feel like moving.

  6. LOL Ammo! Our girl is just like you … She gets so involved in “hunting” in the backyard … Totally ignoring us until we call out the magic word “treat” … Then she’ll race to the house faster than a speeding bullet!

  7. Ammo, my dachshund is the same way. But if I say treat or ice cream boy, look out. She certainly hears that.
