in action: baby takes control

Here's a little glimpse into dog psychology-- how a balanced group of dogs are able to work together to keep order within their "pack". The clip shows how two larger members of the pack begin with simple play. As it escalates, excitement is created with another pack member. Once the level of excitement intensifies and escalates too high, Baby, our 12 pound Jack Russell Terrier, takes control.

Watch closely how she uses her body language, energy and a firm bark to control the level of excitement, regardless of the other dogs' breed or size.
