#Dogstr #2 the female Corso has 2 names. Most people IRL think her name is Wiggles. But it's not. That's the word I use when I'm speaking about her and not too her.
When I need her to focus, there is a secret name (command).

She is the first dog that I've done this with. I also began doing the same with #3. But due to current circumstances, it's likely not going to stick with #3, the way that it has with #2.

I decided after my last dog (Flako) that my next dog and I should speak our own language that makes no sense to other people. sometimes when in public spaces, I had to whisper commands to him, which can draw unnecessary attention. Not a fan of attention 90% of the time.

A dogs name is a command. The more people that can command your dog, the more chances there are for misbehavior and miscommunications.

This note was inspired by my mom's neighbor. Cool dude and dogstr has accepted him into the fold. But he asked this morning if she had hearing problems, bc sometimes Wiggles doesn't respond to Wiggles. 👀 My response...she is probably just tired. I felt bad for about 10 seconds for lying to him.
