Please help me remember this word for a well behaved dog!

[dudsville]

If you can I can tell you a mildly amusing anecdote. It was said to me in an interaction and the context made me chuckle. I'm annoyed I can't now recall the word. It's like obedient and patient. One word...

I will assume it's nothing to do with a Jack Russell

Compliant

Biddable?

Ha ha shiny, definitely not.

Hm, not compliant ... the dog in question was waiting patiently.. this is really bugging me!

Biddable is the one that comes to mind for me.

Dutiful? Loyal? Subservient?

docile?

Steady?

I once met a dog called Mr Kipling. His owner said he was an "exceedingly good dog".

Balanced?

An alien?

Accommodating
Forbearing
Stoical

Agree with steady.

Trained

Agh, it's none of these, but "Alien" made me giggle. "Compliant" is closest.

I was in the post office with my best behaved girl (bbg). Nothing new about the experience to any of us, except I don't go out much so I still find wearing a mask a very preoccupying experience and I guess this is why I interpreted the situation the way I did.

Bbg and I were patiently waiting, we were next and she was sitting next to me. I wasn't paying her any attention. My turn came and I somewhat perfunctorially stepped forward, said hello and presented my package with the return label showing and placed it on the scales. At this point the teller said "so compliant"(or whatever the word was, it was so much funnier to my ear!) I wasn't thinking of my dog, i was feeling conspicuous in my mask so was preoccupied with myself, and upon hearing this statement I thought "now that's an odd sort of compliment" ...

I did say it was a mildly funny anecdote!
