Hello - I just wanted to update everyone on my baby Harley. She is doing absolutely WONDERFUL! After refusing to walk on the leash for weeks, she now not only walks the proper way but also loves it! We just moved into our new home and she's adapting very well. She will be 5 months old on the 24th of this month and it just amazes me at how quickly she's picked up on certain things. I must give myself a pat on the back because I worked very hard with her for the first 2-3 months and the consistency has defenitely paid off. She is now running to the door and letting out a whine when she needs to go potty which has me thrilled. I now can trust her in my house and not worry about what shes getting into when I leave the room. She is 100% crate trained and actually NEVER whines when in her pen. She willingly will go in when asked and is always quiet and patient when I arrive home. I think she feels secure and she knows that I'll always be back for her. If you had asked me 2 months ago, I was at the end of my rope...lol...I'm SO glad that I didn't give up because she is now exactly like I want her to be and I just love her to pieces. It is defenitely worth the time and energy to give them the consistent discipline that they want and need. Makes life a lot better! For anyone who has been struggling or maybe just got a new puppy and needs some encouragement, all I can say is "YOU CAN DO IT!" I'm proof of that.
Thanks to all who've given me advice in the past.
