Thank you all for your kind advice
I'm going to get her a harness tomorrow to see if that helps with her fear of being attached to a leash (guess that one should have been obvious to me
lol) She did seem to make a slight amount of progress the last few days and I also discovered that she LOVES peanut butter (I only buy natural) so that entices her try to figure out what I'm asking. The "sit" technique with just raising your hand and going back is what I've always done but Alice just keeps backing up ,lol. I hadn't thought about using the other 2 dogs to help teach her, I'll try that and see if it helps too
My plan is to keep working with her for a while longer and if I'm still having trouble I'll definatly enrole in the puppy class. This is just a whole new world to me (now the picky eating is starting too
). I actually took her to a get-together this weekend at a relatives house and she was really good, played with their dog well and interacted with everyone. She's doing better in the yard too, when she starts to go too far I just say "Alice, Stop" in a firm voice and most of the time she does
Oh, and as far as the tieout, I'll never leave her outside alone on it (I don't even let my big dogs out there long) it's just for them to go potty without me having to follow them around on a leash because then they think it's "walk time" and they don't do their business. Thanks again for the support and advice, I'm sure I'll post some praises when she finally learns some commands
