What's new with Bree

I have been asking everyone for their puppy updates

and then have neglected to add my own!

Bree is a little pistol! She's got so much drive and energy.

I can tell she is going to be a great little agility dog.

She loves to race up and down our stairs (we live on

the third floor) and she often beats me to the top.

She's a smartypants. While she is one of the youngest 

in our puppy class, she is quickly learning what she

is taught and is often used as a demo dog.

She loves the class because she gets to see her 

buddies Patton, a Weim (who's exactly her age); 

Amos, a Border Terrier and Diamond a Vizsla!

The one area we are still having some issues with

is the crate. She is fine with it on HER terms.

She will go in it willingly at night (in fact, last 

night she put HERSELF to bed!), in the car

and her morning nap, it's when she goes

in for her late afternoon nap that she raises

a stink. But we are making progress.

A friend lent me a copy of Susan Garrett's

"Crate Games" DVD, so we will be watching 

that this weekend. She's got to learn to love it. 

"Look at me!"

Practicing our down stays. "Where's my cookie?"
