Almost the first day home when a treat was offered, Murphy would sit quietly, waiting and looking into our eyes. We reinforced this behavior with "sit" and I congratulated myself (ha ha) that I taught her to sit in one day. Reality check is that
Wildrose Kennels was doing a lot with this pup before she came to live with us. She is not afraid of much, although she trembled a bit when meeting the horses. Cats, well, those are to chase, aren't they? Lazarus, a mean outdoor cat taught her a lesson.
At the kennel, she had to crawl over steps and inclines and through a tunnel to get to the play area where she was exposed to multiple items and noises. This and being exposed to diabetic "low" scent factored in our choosing this facility.
In one week, she has had to adjust to so many new things, places, and people.
Current weight: 11 pounds
