Go Susie Go

In the short time Susie's been with us she has mastered soooo many things.

- She has approached both my husband an me and asked for pets !!

- She has mastered the stairs out the back door to go potty. Originally she would just "go" on our deck. Now she happily follows the others down the steps and into the yard. 

- She has been on a short leashed walk. A struggle at first, but was much better at the end. Having the other dogs to follow certainly helps. With the super cold weather we likely won't get out again until this weekend for another try. 

 - She has been completely accident free. We do go out often, but she definitely has a strong grip on the concept of keeping her den clean. 

- She is beginning to come when called, and has started following some other directions like "outside", "kennel", etc.

I've never worked with a dog like Susie before, so I'm not sure what to expect, but in my eyes she is doing GREAT. Although she is inexperienced, she is not completely "shut down", and I see an amazing amount of potential. 

Stay tuned for updates on her progress. 

 

Susie decides I'm OK

48 hrs......and she jumped up next to me on the sofa, and let me scratch her head

Susie getting brave

Susie has discovered the sofa

Here she is near our 30 lb Beagle mix

Altough she's only 20 lbs, she is very tall.

She needs to add a few lbs.

To be a really nice medium size.

And here she's with out 10 lb Chi/Poodle mix
