Thanks for asking! We still have a lot to work on. She got aggressive when we tried to give her a bath. But it was trigger stacking. Our bathroom is small and shes afraid to go in it and once inside she was backed into a corner. We did not get bit though. I waited for her to self calm and then gave her a treat. She was fine after that. Had a treat party after: 5 blue buffalo bits, a piece of cheese and a slice of bacon. I'm hoping she feels better about baths now but we just gotta take it slow. She had one accident in the house but it was our fault. We fell asleep before last call and she didnt get locked in the crate. Shes better about the crate now too. She just takes a nap until I get home and she sleeps through the night. She has her good days and bad days. Sometimes shes a dream...good all day...no nipping or jumping...other days she is impatient and rowdy. We're just taking it one step at a time. But she now knows roll over, play dead, sneak and beg. Her dog aggression has improved. Shes now only aggressive if there is a person by the other dog. She hasnt had much opportunity to practice but I'm sure she will get better. She is very smart. She has tried my patience numerous times but I refuse to give up on her. She may be stubborn but I am more stubborn.
She is quite happy here though. And we love her. No matter how much a PITA she is. She gets along with the cat now too. They're still not quite friends...but I caught them playing the other day. It was adorable. I wish I thought to record it. If I catch it again I'll post it
if you're not on facebook no one really cares...not that they do if you were on there. You just get more instant gratification to your own narcissism. I'm glad I have her.
I click the clicker when she does what I want and she gets a treat. I guess I just have to do it more. Its kinda hard to reward when I don't notice it...because it's how she should behave.
. I worked with her today to "come" to me from off the porch. She would and then I told her she was good and gave a treat. But then she turned around and went right back to the porch
. I think tomorrow it will be "come", "sit", then attach the leash to enforce what I expect her to do before getting a treat
