This 2nd week with our new pup has been full of successes, confusions, and failures on top of the general tiredness. We're starting to dream about having a full uninterrupted night of sleep...
Geordi is a very good and smart pup, but with some personality showing through that we need to be attentive of. So far he's mastered "Sit" and he's darned good at "Down (Lie Down)", "Stay (10 seconds)", and "Watch Me (look up at us for 3 seconds)". I'm pretty sure he's nailed down his name, but we have to be careful to use it only for positive events.
The drawbacks are that he's developing some toe nipping, jumping, crate whining, and poop eating (coprophagia). We are studying several books and discussing with each other and adjusting our behavior and body language to begin correcting these behaviors in a good way!
It's tough going sometimes but there is some real progress. One awesome thing last night was that we only had to get up once! WooT!
