Good Morning!

Pepper the Puppy update:

Pepper had one pee accident yesterday. Mom had closed the back door. Pepper came and got me to let her outside. Got about 3/4 the way to the back door when she barked, squatted and peed. Just couldn't hold it long enough to get outside.

On the good side of potty training she has learned the difference between "Do Your Stuff," number 1, and "Do Number Six," number 2. She does each in different parts of the yard which really helps in training what each is called.

She also does sit and come, but not very consistently yet. She does come running when I say "Where is Pepper?"

We are still working on the puppy biting play. Most of the time she snaps towards me, or just touches me with her mouth open, but she is starting to "Kiss" where she was biting before.

Oh and she has learned to bark on command. And is matching my enthusiasm and volume when she does bark. Now just gotta start working on Yes vs barking, and mimicking my barks, and then she can learn English. Think it will be a great help to be able to pronounce things like Camber did so I can present english in a way she can mimic it back to me easier.

Oh and affection is getting to be as much of a reward as treats. She is learning to please instead of just doing things for the treat.
