It's been a long time since last update.
Thea is making little steps of progress every day. This week we started clicker training. She is just now getting used to the sound of the clicker. The first time I clicked it she ducked for cover. Now she still flinches a little but she is getting used to it. We are starting with "sit". After 3 sessions she is starting to understand she must sit for the click/treat... not too shabby!
We've also been working on walking on leash. We made it around a short block in the neighborhood. Were we live is very rural, we have neighbors but none who are close so we can walk without the interruption of people, other animals, feral mailboxes, etc... She pulls a bit and tries to bite the leash but I just have none of it and keep her going. Finally, she submits to me and by the time we were nearing home she is walking like a champ!
Right now we are at an agility trial across state so we have another opportunity to challenge her with new surroundings, new people and some people she has already met... She has a little ways to go but she has come so far in just the few months we've had her.
