She is ignored when barking for attention, just like the boss wolf does. No need for correction collars anymore. I'm learning they don't think like humans at all, they crave what's been lodged in their DNA for thousands of years.
Man, these Heelers are so smart! When Sophie pees where I want her to (the lawn) she gets big praise. She's figured out to squat for a fake pee outwitting me. At 10 weeks she fetches, dropping the ball at my feet, didn't think that would happen so early.

Thanks for the updates, Greg!
I don't think many realise how smart this breed really is...until they are owned by one.
I look forward to more observations as you move forward with your new co-pilot!
Keep up the great work!
