One of my sayings is "it's a good thing she is cute".
Yes she is a handfull, and more so just having an old dog who was perfect. But Lily and I are taking our time. She is really a loving pup but really loves to chew paper and play chase me. We were in this puppy class and by the 4th class out of six it was apparent that she was too young or too high strung. There were even two of her litter mates there that were just quiet lugs compared to her "energy". We are skipping the last two and just getting the pointers from someone. 10 other pups around is certainly not condusive to her learning.
I started with just a collar and then got a harness per someones hints that she would be walking like a pro in 10 minutes. She pulled like a sled dog! This week I picked up a gentle leader and have tried it twice. While she does try to get it off at first, it has really really helped.
I had let her out yesterday and when I went to call her in I spotted a orange flower on the ground. She had picked one of the two flowers I have in pots JUST FOR ME!
