This Senior Dog Doesn’t Want To Be Touched So Her Mom Does An Elevator Technique To Get Her To Bed

Dog TikTok is definitely a gift that keeps on giving and this time, a senior dog named Madi has gone viral on the platform.

The 11-year-old chihuahua has always been very clear on what she wants and she will never settle for anything less. And according to her mom, Serena Hodson, Madi is a pretty sassy type of dog who will definitely have an attitude if things don’t go her way. She is also very selective when it comes to people and there are only a handful of people she actually likes.

But one thing about Madi is that even though she likes you, that doesn’t mean you can touch her. In fact, she absolutely hates being touched and she would block every attempt or show aggressive gestures whenever she gets touched. And so to make her comfortable and while she is learning to get used to touches, her mom Serena had to be creative.

One thing that they love to do as bonding is hanging out on the bed or the couch. But since Madi is very small, she couldn’t climb and get there on her own. At first, Serena used to put a blanket over Madi before lifting her up so that she wouldn’t be really touching her and to avoid Madi from biting her. It broke her heart that she had to do that but that was the best she could do at the moment.

Thankfully, Madi’s dad came up with a better and more fun solution to their problem which was the elevator method or technique. To use this method, Serena would put a pillow on the floor and let Madi hop on it, and then she would lift it up like an elevator. When they’re at the destination, she would then level the pillow so that Madi can then cross to either the bed or couch.

It was definitely a nice way to help Madi grow more comfortable. Their video which has been uploaded on TikTok has now over 42 million views and 7.6 million likes. You can watch their viral moment below.
