I'm glad things are going so well!
We were too!
Haha she’s awesome, really smart and sweet and headstrong and great, strong, healthy teeth..
House training her went well, she got it down within the first three days, she knows to sit and wait before going out the door and same when taking her out of the kennels.
She’s not too into other dogs, she’s more of a shy girl but she did get along well with our friends year old German shepherd girl. We were hoping for that cause she has a very calm, mellow presence. We all went on our first hike and that went well, she does pull on leash but we are working on that
the walk back was way nicer with way less pulling. It’s a process.
Nipping is our biggest issue, we’ve tried redirecting her as well as grabbing her by the collar, then I read here that grabbing them by the scruff was helpful and we’ve been trying that too. Needs work.
Kennel training is going well and she sleeps through the night, and she’s waking up right around the same time my partner wakes up for her morning pee.
That’s our first week entry! We’re trying things and learning things as they present themselves.
One thing I have noticed is that I’ve been so much more present mentally. One of the first things I think of in the morning is “okay how are we burning energy off today?”. I even liked hiking in the morning. She’s a really sweet and smart good girl. We are so proud of all her progress so far.
