Star update

Just been doing some training with Star. She's progressing well although Charlie has taught her some bad habits, such as barking at the cat! She's sitting on command most times. Hasn't soiled her crate over night or when I need to go out during the day for around a fortnight now. Got her to leave her treat tonight and she started barking at it. She's definitely full of character and tries to be the boss. We can start going out from this weekend so I am hoping the Charlie may behave and show her how its supposed to be done when walking. (I can hope lol). Here's an up to date pic with her jumper on in anticipation of getting out the front door!

Love that jumper, where did you get it? I think our Charlie will need something when we can go out with him Christmas Eve...his fur is sooo thin, when the light hits him at times you can see his skin! Smile

I'm quite excited about going out, whether Star will be as enthusiastic is another matter.
I got her jumper from Pets at Home. I wanted a coat but she's right in between small and medium. The small may last 2 weeks if we're lucky and the medium smothered her. Thought a jumper may stretch a little more.

Star will love it, keep her cosy in that jumper, and my guess is you won't get far for sniffing! Have you tried the lead on her yet? Xx

Yes i have, around the house and garden. Her walking on it is dependent on her mood though. I have been carrying her out and about over the last week to get her use to the sights and sounds. She's also spent more time in the garden being curious so I am hoping she will be a little intrigued. She's a bottomless pit so treats will definitely help.
