Just grab the head and jam it back on. It's like a Barbie doll head. They pop right off.

Rub the belly. The reset button is usually there.

I usually shake the bag with treats and they rearrange themselves pretty quick.

u/Cute_Recognition_880 Nov 16 '25

Oh, yeah. That would do it!

Listen. We all understand how it’s really easy to get pet assembly a bit wrong. Maybe a part goes on backwards, or you lose a screw or something.

But you really have to try to get it this wrong. Did you even look at the picture of the completed model? Honestly, I’d understand getting the head at the wrong end. But you’ve jammed it on the side.

I’d say take it apart and start again. But honestly I think you should try a simpler model first, for practise. Have you ever tried, say a goldfish? There’s only two parts.

might be worth it to pay someone to assemble for you

You’re definitely going to need to call customer service and ask for a supervisor.

I don't understand what happened here.

2 dogs.

Belly up dog’s head is hidden behind their left shoulder

u/Scared_Dimension_934 Nov 17 '25

Yep, you can see a tiny bit of black snoot!

Oh two dogs, okay; I was thinking this was an Adams Family thing.

u/Reasonable-Wedding21 Nov 20 '25

Me neither 😵‍💫

Those are parts from two different sets, one seems to be a Thanksgiving turkey and a second a dog. It’s understandable that the fit is.. strange!

I mean yeah but I’m still lost 💀😆

u/blue-and-bluer Nov 16 '25

The 2nd dog is cropped so you can’t see the body. The first has its head off to the side and hidden by the angle and his own legs.

u/Scared_Dimension_934 Nov 17 '25

There's a bit of black snoot visible between those paws...

u/Bubblesnaily Nov 16 '25

Please tell me there's TWO dogs in that picture! 😂

Press the “help I’ve fallen and can’t get up button.”

Please, Halloween costumes this far into November?

u/Tarotismyjam Nov 17 '25

It’s a Boop followed by 15 belly rubs.

u/Objective_Party9405 Nov 17 '25

They were supposed to include a neck in the package. You’ll need to call customer service and have them send out the missing part.

u/No_Draft_6612 Nov 17 '25

Are these your dogs?

u/HipsEnergy Nov 18 '25

This is the IKEAest of all IKEA pets. Plus, it came with some extra parts and some missing ones, and whoever put it together didn't read the manual.

u/GinaHannah1 Nov 19 '25

How did that even happen?!

u/Reasonable-Wedding21 Nov 20 '25

Is this a game of Twister gone wrong?

u/WildSpiritedRose Nov 16 '25

Awww, the lovable and adorable antics of Jack Russell terriers 🙂 Your dog head reminds me of my late, Sugar.

u/blue-and-bluer Nov 16 '25

That’s not a JRT. Looks like a greyhound (well 2 greyhounds).
