Rob & Kathy Allen

ROB ALLEN:"She doesn't bark much now and stops, usually when we say sit or no. She listens to me real well outside. Stops and sits when I stop or twitch the leash. She doesn't charge bikes, cars, or people any more. We start out close and I let leash out slowly. She walks ahead and doesn't pull much. If she does start pulling a twich on the leash usually slows her down. She sits at street crossings or when we get to a bridge. Periodically, I pull her back to my side and she walks at my side until I let her roam a little. She has caught on that there are deer out here and finds them regularly before me. Inside she is good, unless she gets excited. She settles quicker though, and then walks herself to the travel crate and goes in without direction. 15 minutes of cool down and out she comes and is calm again. Right now we are having breakfast and she is snoozing on her mat in the corner of the room. Much more patient and not as demanding of attention. When I release her to say hello to people she still stands on her hind legs but doesn't bite anymore. And if I tell her to sit she gets back down. People on the path know not to say, "Hi Penny," until I release her. This is way different than before. She stays well, but is still a puppy, and looses focus sometimes; but, if I say no, sit, stay, she does pretty well. She likes to ride in the second row of seats in my SUV and goes with me on errands, cold weather only--never on hot days. I am going to try to take her in to the pet store. Not sure how that's going to go but I am optimistic! All in all a real pleasure to have around now!!!"
KATHY ALLEN:  "Penny is so delightful now. She still finds her way to trouble but listens to us. She’s the puppy we always wanted."Sent from iPhone
