She runs out of the house, out of her kennel when opened (they have a fenced yard with a door, but it is rusty and broken, don't know why they won't fix it?) and when/if they walk her, she gets away and won't come back. Sorry, should've been more specific there...

I have learned the LONG training methods to be bad the hard way, Jes was my mistake. I have learned better now though. I try to go in 3 or 5 minutes though. If that does not work, I will try shorter sessions.

I don't know if Alex would like to play tug-of-war. I could try and see if she likes it! My best guess would be that she'll LOVE it!-and of course, the dog ALWAYS wins!

She likes to play ball, for one throw, she doesn't give the ball back, that is another thing I have to work on with her. That seems to happen with a lot of dogs though...Only they are taught to give it back.

Sorry, she is 1 yr. a month ago! I love Alex, but don't know her too well. I didn't go to there house much before. Then my aunt started talking about how hard it was to take care of Alex, you get the story. Well, I jumped in and said I'll train her!

Thank you everyone! Your a HUGE help!-Steph and Jes
