Animal control visits a trainer who uses tape to teach her Dalmatian a scooting trick, and she says the officer was trying not to laugh

Most people never expect to answer the door and talk about their pet’s anatomy. Least of all with an Animal Control Officer. However, that is exactly the situation Daniella Blasinghame claims to have found herself in recently. The pet mom, dog trainer, and human behind bradley.in.the.spotlight usually uses the account to showcase the training she does with her Dalmatian, Bradley, and his resultant skills. However, a recent training session backfired.

Taking to Instagram and TikTok, in a post that has since earned 1.4 million views, she told her viewers. “Animal Control showed up today at my house to check on my dog’s butthole. Bradley is a professional animal actor and has been working on learning a new skill, which is scooting his butt across the carpet, for a commercial. The way I’m training this is by covering his butthole with a piece of tape to irritate him.”
