she is Mostly potty trained (she does have accidents when it's raining and we bad owners don't make her stay outside till she finishes her buisness, or when we owners are bad and fail to recognize she is asking us to take her out!) (so really it's us that are badly trained!)
She has been in our bed since she came home and has never ever had an accident in the bed... (she came to us at 8 weeks) she is now...17 weeks...
We have been DESPERATELY seeking a class for her , but in the mean time teaching her what we can on our own... she does:
Sit
lay down
rollover
sit pretty
She seems to understand we (fiancee and I) are in charge... when scolded she rolls over and puts all four in the air...
(she also does this with my sil's Bulldog when we visit)
We have been socializing her with other dogs as much as possible (because we have been unable to find a class for her)
My Sister-in-laws have...
A Bull Mastif, a Hound dog, and an English Bulldog, My father has two Teacup poodles, a girlfriend of mine has an Akita... Our neighbors have a Mastiff, and a rottie...
so far it seems if the dog is still... she is curious and wants to meet and play... BUT.... (the bulldog) my sil's doggie Belle is wayyyyy excited to see her cousin Blu... and though she doesn't jump on blu is hyper and lunges at her she does the whole submissive thing.. (unless she is on my lap) then I think she feels that Belle is threatening her mommy and gets snippy and barks at Belle...
And as if I am not already being long winded enough...
I yell at her.. put her back where she belongs on the bed.. and tell her to lie down.. I then try to go back to sleep...
What frustrates me is she has been so good up until now.. and she seems to be... looking for something or... uncomfortable when she is behaving this way in the middle of the night?? I really thought it's because of her teething?? or maybe growing pains.. she was... 15 lbs when she came home and she's now 40 lbs.
(also anyone got a great place to find puppy classes!! she's soo smart and loves to learn so beyond the good doggie reasons to train her I think it will make her a much happier doggie!)
Thanks for all the help!!
