SO.... I have week one down. Vyx melded well at home. She's picked up potty training quickly and it's amazing how much she sticks to me. Evelyn Wolfe calls Dobe's velcro dogs..and she's right. She's stuck to me like glue and ready to please. I've taught her how to "sit" and "down"(from the sit) as well..and she's only 10 weeks old now. I looked into a training place local, but I think I will entertain that after I have her ears cropped and posted. Don't want to throw too much at her at once.
Only frustration with a new pup is ignoring the whimpering at night when you know she's full, tired, and warm. Same goes for me, when I'm full, tired and warm....I want to sleep.... But she's shown that she does not like the crate. It'll take time, but she'll get it (no doubt).
