Paz is doing a good job with her crate training, although she does bark sometimes for a few minutes when we crate her during the day and we're all here in the house. Housebreaking is inconsistent. Somedays Paz has only one or two accidents, and then there are days like today where it seems that she's peeing or pooping everywhere BUT outside... today was pretty frustrating in the "take a break" department! Paz is making good progress with "sit" and "wait;" she's still not that interested in learning her name. Actually, I think she knows her name, she's just choosing not to respond to it! Maybe because her name is often associated with the word no, as in "Paz, No!"
Our other dogs, Jed and Ding, are finally acting as though they actually like Paz. They all run around the yard together and they don't get as upset when she pounces on them when they least expect it. I think Paz is finally learning good puppy manners!
We got Paz a wading pool and she absolutely loves it! It's been incredibly hot here this past week so she really needs a place to cool off. She not afraid of the hose or the water, and will stick her whole head in the couple of inches we keep in the pool. The only problem with the pool is that she gets sopping wet and then tries to find a place to dig. Water + Dirt = 1 Dirty Dog!!!!
Paz loves taking field trips! In the last few days, Paz has been to a nearby ultimate frisbee course, a soccer game and garden center. She quit chewing on her vest so she's been able to wear it out and about. She loved chasing frisbees and soccer balls, running up and down stairs, and climbing on landscape timbers and a waterfall. She wasn't afraid of a passing freight train; but she was scared of a refrigerated floral case!
