Thanks for your reply!
As far as treats go, the answer would be 'no'. We're the only ones that give her treats. I try to keep treats limited and consistent so that they're more useful in training.
Yes, she does get excited. Typically it's a 'happy' excited. Like when Daddy comes home and she greets him...tons of licking and tail wagging and snorting and just all around excitement. That excitement, however, can certainly be affecting her digestive system. She also has periods of excitement through the day when she plays with her doggie sister. They run through the house chasing and tugging and otherwise acting silly until the two of them wear out. I wonder if that contributes to the problem?
Can you give me some words for the training you're thinking of - to keep Milli from being physically stressed? If I know what to search for, I can look through the forums or elsewhere to see which training exercises we should be focusing on.
Thanks again!
