Greta - Day 3

Every day is a little easier with Greta.  Today, for the first time. she gave a bark to signal that I'd forgotten that it was bathroom time... and she had to GO!  If she continues with this progress, I may begin the bell-signal training soon.

 

She's doing well with her bite-inhibition training, she occasionally mouths my foot gently when she's tired and/or overstimulated but I haven't been bitten painfully in 2 days.  The kids... well, that's another story and we're working on that one.  My 3-year-old is afraid of her because she snaps when she's excited... doesn't bite, but snaps.  My 5-year-old doesn't like to stop playing when she's been bitten, so it's a 3-ring circus at times but definitely manageable.

 

She has learned to sit very quickly and for the sake of cuteness, we're practicing to "shake"... which she now does every time she sits, whether it's prompted or not.  Funny girl.
