Though there are times where she will eat it all in one sitting-- I'd rather not be wasteful... Plus it's not really a good habit for her to pick up on.

I've been reading a guide sent to me by another user and it's been great thus far. I also have been progressing on her learning "back", "Stay" , as for "Sit" and "Leave it" I only got a little bit further.. but not much progress on that. Yesterday was wonderful though, the boiled broccoli made her "sit"- now if I can just get her to do it without a treat or something of high value...

She's also half way through learning her name but still doesn't always make eye contact when called by name. I suppose she may have selective hearing. lol (i joke). I am certain eventually she will progress. I am also going to revise on Sasha's training as late evening yesterday and today have been sort of an eye opener. She's okay with my dog, but the dog my brother is "baby sitting" (for a few days) is a male boston terrier- and he's less than 1 year old and not sure why but he's fully "intact"... Not sure if that makes a different, but we tried introducing them through a barrier and none of our dogs took kindly to him at all.

I saw that he had no tail and then thought to myself they might had docked it and kind of shivered at the thought of that going down.. but then I realized bostons don't really have tails... I felt silly.
Look at you is a good command too because you can distract them from something g else by doing it. Growing up we had two beagles so I get the selective hearing lol.
