so how about a puppy update?
there is not near as much to tell as there should be because i am majorly slacking with the whole training and socializing and fun stuff...
but we go for walks just about every day( minus rain and working 12 hours days). and she is finally getting way better about pulling, it was hard because they say stop so the dog learns they won't get anywhere if they pull, well i stopped she came back and sat next to me, they say turn around so they see they won't get where they want to go, the problem was she didn't seem to be trying to get anywhere, except occasionally home. but now about 90% of the time there is no pulling which is amazing and should mean that if we keep it up all will be well by the time she is full grown and i won't be able to hold her if she pulled.
she has not been to training classes, but i need to suck it up and get on that....but she does know how to wait at doors and for her food, she sits, and shakes and lays down, she will leave it sometimes, and she will drop her toys so i don't have to play tug-o-war to get them and throw them. i know its way less than she should know but like i said im slacking, so i will try and get better and increase her vocabulary. she does know how to watch out when on a walk thanks to a few walks with little kids in strollers and being run into a few times( she learned very quickly what watch out meant.
she eats a ton, other people say she is getting bigger but i don't notice it. she likes people and will go up to most people that want to pet her, she jumps a lot on new people which we work on when possible. she has gone to a race, lots of petsmarts and petcos, downtown temecula, a few farmers markets, and lots and lots of car rides and walks...
overall she is still a good dog. we had a brief issue with a neighbor saying she barked all day and all night, but i bought a bark collar and it seems so far that in one day that sovled the whole problem, i still put it on her when im not home but when im home she no longer makes a peep. and she is getting better about growling and barking and all at other dogs, still a big work in progress though.
currently she is passed out on the floor by my feet, a normal occurance when im home.
i have to say minus the licking im pretty attached.
