It's now a month that Tuli is in our life and what a joy. We are on a whole new level of understanding each other. She wants nothing more than to please us, and we are having a blast training her new things. She now brings the ball back to us! Her r
ecall is getting better every day. She got out of my niece's yard this week, she came immediately back when called! That makes me very happy. We are all getting a little more confident in each others space. Not that our guard is down, because she's one smart dog and she'll want to take advantage if you let her. Just like our Edie a Jack Russell, you can't leave her to her own devices for a moment.
I thank you Sarah for teaching me that crate training is a really good thing! We try to give her at least an hour of crate per day. We found that if she hasn't been in it for a couple of days, she gets way more demanding of our attention. She's comfortable in the crate but I have to carry her over to it to put her in. Although she jumps right in the crate in "her" car as she knows that she loves every place we've taken her!
Tuli is the most outspoken dog I
have ever met. Even more than Taj (mom's poodle). I'm not saying barking, I mean taking. We call her a little monkey. Not that barking isn't in the picture. It gets very windy here on the cape and the house noise from it makes her jumpy as she thinks it's someone outside. Could also be from the outside smells flying around. I have to be the mom dog to calm her. She's getting better at this also.
Our daily routine has become 2nd nature now and Tuli adapts very well to any changes that occur. She's comfortable and we think she knows she is home.
