Well, she has been shredding more stuff but... I take responsibility for that, one, to put it within reach, two, not been able to exercise her properly. Today is going to be the first long walk for this week. (for those who wonder why she's been neglected on that part Ive had a UTI that reached my only kidney and have been very sick and in hospital yesterday was the first day my pain was almost gone in the kidney)
BUT, she is making progress. She is learning to relax despite me moving around in the room. Prior she always got restless and whiny/barky. She nows go to sleep emidate at night when someone lies down in the bed, prior she tried to bite feet, fingers and demanding attention despite having snuggle time before dinner (we turn them out, snuggle them, feed them, sleeptime).
Now we just put her under the blankie and she goes prompt to sleep, even if I am still up working and only bf is asleep. Here is the kicker, she dont even whine when I walk around/leave the room/or when I go to bed. She just looks at me and then back to sleep prior she whined if you took a deep breath.
She is getting better with her nipping and jumping period, everyone in the household (7 people) are animal lovers and everyone turn their back on her as soon as she goes roughy, nippy, jumpy so she sits for the most of it.
She can see the cat now without barking her HEAD OFF, a week and a half ago she couldnt even hear the catbell downstairs without starting some ruckus.
She answers very well to consistensy and praise so Ill be getting a clicker here soon.
Overall she is a very good dog, she can't be totally alone yet, but I can leave her with either dog, Tasha or armand (the houseowners little doggie), so I can switch wich dog Im taking out cause he rather spends time with my doggies when they are home alone than out in the house that is empty wich I can understand. that also gives me oppurtunity to give dogs indivudal time wich I like a lot.
So overall she has done a very fast improvement, now we only need to learn to HOLD it longer in the morning. For once she did not wake me up 7.45 as she usually do but 9.45 so it's getting there... If Id gone to sleep my regular time I would have got 8 hours of sleep, boss kept me up to 6 am though, big launch this weekend. *sighs* but she's getting there...
I'm very proud over my little wild Bull...
AND I'm proud of Old grumpy Tasha.. She's in heat now and still, she just REFUSE to go angry at Missy, she puts clear bounderies, but even SHE ignores Missy when Missy go wild. I have never seen her have so much patience with any other young dog. It's weird.. My old dog is prolly getting old, or she has learnt that go angry at a pitbull just causes problem so now she just say.. buss off I don't care... but Im glad.. It seems like I finally have the pitbull Ive dreamt off, tons of energy and DOGFRIENDLY! :)
