Who said positive reinforcement doesn't work
by mikec Mon Jul 08 2013, 19:18
So thought I would give an update on how Abby is getting along at 13 weeks.
First of all I would like to say thanks so much to the helpful advice from everyone she's coming along so well! I think she's finally learning her place within the family as for the past week she has been very calm around with me and will instigate tummy rubs and subdue herself when not playing.
She now is getting a soft mouth with human skin and will no longer go to bite my skin but will rather lick or mouth gently - plus she takes treats very gently now.
Training is coming along nicely and we are just starting to practice heel and loose lead walking. All in all I THINK/hope she is a happy pup!
Long way to go obviously but very proud of her so far.
