Computer is finally working

It's been too long since I blogged about Bayou because of computer problems. Things have been going good with her. I think we've really bonded over the last couple of weeks in a way that we hadn't bonded before. She is such a sweetheart and I love having her. We don't have training at SMS this week. We'll have class again next week on Wednesday. Clay wanted to give us time to train together and for Bayou to grow up some. Obviously she's still a puppy but she is maturing. I'm really looking forward to the things that she and I will be able to do together. I do need to get her out though. I haven't taken her for a walk out in the neighborhood and I haven't taken her to Petsmart yet either. Mostly I haven't done that because my allergies have been so bad that I've been miserable and sleeping a lot because of the allergy medicine. Anyway, she's getting so big. It's like she grows over night. She's been great sleeping with us and when I nap during the day she sleeps with me on the couch. She's going out on her own but still bringing things in though less often. I'm still working with her on that. She's in for the night now and needs to lay down so I'll be going for tonight.

Training is going well

We had our 3rd lesson this week with Mackenzie. We worked on "place", walking along side me and coming to me. We worked with other dogs there for distractions. Bayou is doing so well. Things at home are a lot  better too. Hardly any biting, she gets down when we tell her to and she comes to us most of the time too. The platforms David made this weekend are awesome and we get to practice place with them. My laptop crashed again so I won't be blogging much this coming week or so but I wanted to update about training. Our next session is on my birthday at 1pm. I'm really looking forward to it. I put her new bed in her kennel and now she goes in there on her own. How ironic. Maria came to clean the house today and I felt like Bayou did a much better job. She didn't bark the whole time and when I let her out she wasn't totally crazy (just a little bit crazy lol). One thing we have to work on is her bringing "stuff" into the house (tumbleweeds, poop, bark, sticks, etc). It's something we really have to work on. It's 8:30pm and she's already asleep in her kennel. Almost time for all of us to go to bed. I'll post when I can.
