Okay so the puppy know let's me know she needs to potty by going to the door and whining. This makes me have to listen very carefully for her. She has had one accident in the past three days, but that was because my brother wasn't listening to her when she was trying to tell him she needed to go out.
                She is doing great with staying out of the kitchen when we're eating. I usually get up about 3 times to put her back where she is suppose to be.
               Walking. She is great at not pulling and the few times she does I stop and call her to me so she loosens the leash then we continue to walk. Her biggest problems on walks it passing people and dogs. She wants to go say hi. If I'm walking away from them she plants her feet and if they are in front she tries dragging me. To get her moving I use treats and a high peppy voice.
              Tricks. Okay so I am teaching her "Weave" and "Roll over" she is doing pretty good with "Weave" but she gets really crazy when trying to do "Roll over". I believe she will have it down better in 2 days.

Puppy girls second outing with the family.

First day of School

Today was the first day of my Senior Year of High school and Piper's(Puppy) first time being crated for so long she did great! Right when I woke up I took her to go potty which she did. Than I feed her and allowed her to wonder around the house while I was getting ready. After I finished getting ready I took her and Missy on a ten minute walk, no it's not long, but its the best I can do. I didn't crate her until I had to leave. I came home and she did Not use the poddy in the crate!

A Day Out

Today me and my family went to a walking trail that has a manmade waterfall and a natural creek. My mom allowed puppy girl to come, but not Missy. PG had fun getting in the shallow water and exploring the different sights and sounds. Afterwards we went to Five Below a store. We were told that she could only come in if we would hold her. We were like "Yeah we'll just have someone stay outside with her" Than the lady said let me go look at her, she see's her and tells us not she can't come in because of her breed. I was not happy. Lastly we went to to Heritage Center and walked around. She was able to persuade two people to pet her.  Altogether PG had fun and it was good for her to go to a new environment with new people.

Hi

Hi, everyone I'm Danielle and I'm 18. I live with my parents, 3 brothers and currently three dogs; Missy a 7 year old Border Collie/Lab, Chase a 15 year old Lab/Dalmation and puppy a 6 month old American Bulldog/Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier. Missy is my personal dog and I've had her since she was 6 month old. I found her wondering around a walking trail and no one ever claimed her. She will move with me in about 2-3 years. Chase is the family dog and we've had him since he was 8 weeks old. Puppy was found on Sunday July 28 in my neighborhood by my brothers. We are looking for her owners. If the owners don't come forward we might keep her. I'm crossing my fingers that we do.

And know for my little animals. There is 2 cats Sophie a ? year old Korat, Scout a 2 year old DSH, 2 turtles Delilah a 2 year old yellow belly, Samson a 3 month old yellow belly turtle and my Parakeet Toby who is 7 years old.  Sophie was a stray cat who had been living under our house for a week so I started to feed her and she has stuck around for the past few years. Yes, I did look for her owners. Scout was from the pound, I got him in January. My mom bought Delilah two years ago on our Florida vacation and Samson this year on our Florida vacation. My mom bought Toby for me 6 years and a couple months ago for Christmas.

Okay so I'm making this blog to write about, training the dogs, going places with them, the goofy and annoying this they do. I will also post plenty of pictures.
