Phoebe update!

Here's the update on Phoebe:

She's starting to really relate with me now, will jump on the bed in the morning to give kisses occasionally. She still is afraid of males over the age of 12, is terrified of Phillip to the point of mouthing in defense. We are working on that hard. She can be hard on cats when she is excited - charges them, but not with the intent to do harm, other wise leaves them alone. Still not interested in playing with the other dogs or toys, but remains very food motivated. This past Thursday she went to agility class with Breanna and I and greeted tentively other women and took treats from them. She is excellent on leash walks very politely and is possible at some point in her early life had some type of obediance training as she tends to walk in the heel position. When the other dogs are running and playing she is on a short drag line but does not stray far and will return when called, although she is getting braver and moving off a little further each time. She is excellent in the house with very few potty accidents, and only when she first arrived. She has run of the house day and night and she will sleep on the bed occasionally but prefers Breanna's room to anyplace else. Breanna continues to be the sun, moon, and stars to her. She enjoys riding in the car and is good loose or crated. Since I am no longer seen as a huge threat we are now working on sits, downs and comes with lots of treats and praise. She does take correction very well. With a little more time, I am sure we can have her ready to go to someone that is looking for a quiet companion who enjoys going for a walk or riding in the car.
