She sounds like a natural. Enthusiasm is a big part of it and something we struggled with for a long time. Eddie would go through the motions and do everything right, but he'd do it at a slow pace. Just recently, he's kicked it into another gear.

I think I'd definitely watch your girl on the big leap off the bed. Consider getting some doggysteps. You can find them at pet stores or Wal-Mart. I wouldn't worry too much because I don't think she'd do it if it was painful, but it wouldn't hurt to err on the side of caution for a while. I don't think it's as big of a deal going up the bed because it's a soft landing with her weight going against gravity.

Sounds like you have the right attitude. If you get in it just for fun, I'll bet you'll be surprised at how well she does.
