Hey guys, been very busy training my dog.

So Maggie has been quite the persistent little trouble maker for the past few months since I got her. But at the same time she has been showing signs of improvement.

She still tries to eat crap off the floor sometimes and it drives me crazy because telling her to drop it or leave it and she wont. But she doesnt do it as often anymore. Still kind of annoys me that I've had no progress on that part.

She hasn't had any accidents inside, though sasha has been slipping up. Took her out to do her business earlier with maggie, both relieved themselves(pee and poop), sasha's stool is soft again and she again diahreah'd a big chunk over the kitchen floor... I think its because she ate some of maggies food... Seems I cannot trust her alone even if she was trained prior.

Maggie wont eat her food if you give it to her all at once and still is picky. I might skip or lower the feed for a day every few days to see how it works out.

We're still working on the yard to let them roam around, but I dont think id ever let maggie off leash in the backyard-- regardless if the fences are fixed or not. She's way too fast and sometimes doesnt come when called.

So I am making headway on training but not that much and we backpeddle alot.

Still annoys me that I buy her other treats and she likes this cheapo walmart one but the other one(peanut butter biscuits -- made in america or something) she wont eat it much.

She's not really an eager eater... not sure why. Which probably is why its harder to train her over sasha.

Sasha is an eager eater but I cant give her much variety because she has sensitive stomach(I guess this is the downside from her being from a not so reputable breeder).

Anything too different and she will puke or get soft stool (diahrea).

Sasha picked up a nasty habit of jumping on the sofa (there's a window sill in the new house and she barks at oncoming cars) so now we can't leave her alone in the living room, if she poops diahrea there or pees she will ruin the wood floors...

Forgot to add...

Sasha is eating flower petals which may be whats also causing her stomach upsets and anytime i catch her and i tell her to drop it she wont and if i try to open her mouth(my mom does that to her) she will growl to me lowly but she wont growl to my mom. Granted Ive been spending more time with maggie than sasha. But still.
