Ginger crossed over a few days ago, she'll be 18 weeks next Tuesday, she breaks off playing and goes to pad as needed, no accidents. She knows her toys are for chewing, not our fingers, electrical cords or furniture. She has her yoga mat place when we want her out of the way or crate if we leave. She goes into her crate or carrier on command and usually is asleep before we get out the door, she often goes into her soft carrier to nap during the day. Her crate is open during day and she gets her nylabone out sometimes, her hard carrier is her toy box, she brings her toys and trades them all day.She knows her off limits areas, that are invitation only.
She is so mature we forget she's just a puppy, lol |
