Pokey is doing extremely well! Pokey is doing really great on the leash. She knows what the word 'sit' means pretty well. Just have to work on her reliability with it now. She's stubborn so it takes awhile for things to set it. She is learning "down" so you can make her lay down.
She loves to play with all the dogs. We are working on her destructive chewing and jumping up and biting.
She only bites when she's super excited. She doesn't know what to do with herself at times. So the secret is keeping Pokey calm! She clearly now knows what "shhh" means. The Cesar Millan trick. She knows if she hears that she has to back off whatever it is, whether she's jumping up or chewing something. She'll move away from it right away. This is good because it gives you instant control without having to touch her. She get's so excited around people and animals. If you keep her from getting over excited, then she'll not bite or jump up so much.
I'm also happy to announce the Pokey is learning potty training!! She needed a schedule really badly. So I got her on one. Now when you take her out she knows what "go potty!" means. You say this a few times and she'll pee. She doesn't know yet that she's also supposed to poop with "go potty" yet. She gone twice on my balcony.
