A little "fear period" example

Neko is doing really well with her training.  She is extremely smart/quick and I have an easy time teaching her new things.  "Leave it", "Shake", and "Stay" are her latest learnings and they went very well.  She learned "Leave it" in class with the trainer who asked, "have you guys already worked on this at home?" making me smile because we had not.

The fear/anxiety stuff has been rough, however.  Her one bad habit (barking) is taking forever to improve (hopefully stop), but we do have some funny moments like this morning with a dolphin hand puppet:

Ah, Neko!

This is our last week of puppy class and we're getting ready for our first plane flight.  So much to learn!  We'll keep you posted.
