What is your pet’s favorite pastime?
Being silly, playing agility with her mom.
What is your pet’s favorite toy?
Macy’s favorite toy is anything that mom throws for her to retrieve. She loves my garden gloves, balls, and Frisbee As a puppy she liked to eat paper boxes and paper. On occasion, she sneaks paper on the floor of my office and starts munching. She also loves to play “What can you do?” This is a game to use w/a clicker (click and treat) to teach new tricks and/or new behaviors. It makes the dog think.
What is your favorite thing about your pet?
She loves to play agility with me. When we first arrive at a trial, she springs off of me multiple times and starts barking at how excited she is to be there.
If your pet had a super power, what would it be?
Macy’s super power is here hyper sensitivity to me and how I’m thinking / feeling. As they say in the dog training world, how the handler is feeling goes straight down the leash to the dog’s neck….and the dog knows.
Why does your pet love Caring Hands Animal Hospital?
The entire staff is warm and caring to her and her big sister, Jessie, who is also a Springer Spaniel.
