I've been working today again on back, stay, and sit. I also worked on "come" for a short while. Then I worked on leave it and the potty training.... she seems to only want to go 1-2 a day at most. Rarely she goes 3 x a day. While sasha easily goes 3-4 times a day.
Then again she also is a reluctant eater.. but on my siblings suggestion... if she doesn't eat the food within 10 minutes-- I take it away and try again later during the day(with fresh clean food of course) until she gets out of the habit.
Oh, also forgot but today I kind of made something up (or at least I think I did as I havent heard of someone doing it). Since she's a troubled eater and eats on her own time. I sat near the dish and repeated (and pointed repeatedly to the food bowl) "Eat" and all my attention was focused on the food bowl and somehow she just ended up doing it... It was rather weird because usually you have to be looking at them for them to do something.. but I guess because I cut off the attention she started to eat, and when she would I'd pet her and say good girl and if she stopped eating, I'd repeat and in no time she did it.
I also got her to sit by the door without a treat being offered. (For sit I had been offering thin pieces of boiled broccoli- she likes it boiled but not raw- then again so do I).
I am hoping she learns more and more.
She makes me excited.
