Hello, sorry it's been crazy hectic with a toddler and puppies and homeschooling not to mention Willows agility training. Her fears are still all overy the place some days worse than others, walks at night are getting better she gets very squirly and crazy. The worst thing with her right now is the never ending Uti's. Oh and her jumping, growling and bitting me if I jog or run. I'm hoping with me telling her no sternly she'll eventually get over it. Overall she's a great pup!

Her ears are being posted but it got bitten and I couldn't post for a while until it healed and since she's teething they quickly started falling

Aww she's adorable and the ears are coming along nicely! I'm glad things are getting better with the anxiety and I'm sure she'll completely overcome it with time. Agility is a great confidence booster, so that should help a lot.

She's gorgeous. I think the ears are coming along well. I'm in that same boat with the jumping so you're not alone. Some days are better than others. They'll get better. One day she'll quit and you won't even notice. I keep having to remind my mom of how nutto my Australian Shepherd was for the first 2 years. I used to take her up to the mountains a lot, for walks, but even then, she'd be a nutto, haha.

Thanks, yeah I keep thinking it'll get easier and it is in ways. Patience is something I'm working on lol and her ears are a pain but I know will be worth it in the end.

@Crystal I am still working on the jumping issue. It's usually when I come home and let them out of their crates or when they get excited for me to throw their ball.

Yeah its a doozy for me because of the littles in the house, although she's amazing with kids/babies. I think tho I expect to much and she's still a pup even tho she's getting so big. She's afraid of the backyard when it rains and after its so weird. I'm hoping they grow out of this fear weirdness

They will. Mine started being spooked by the neighbors recycling container just out of nowhere. One day they were fine, then the next they were like scared of it.

That's not uncommon because they think they'll melt, but it's usually not fear - just balking to go out because they hate rain and they're smart enough to pull stuff like that to go back in.
