The day started out rough. I woke still tired from day 6, but had to take care of the dogs and get out to Physical Therapy (long and boring story.) PT brought me to tears, so they surprised me with the great pleasure of six injections to top off my normal two hour ordeal...I mean routine. On my way home, I realized the tears weren't just the physical pain I was feeling, but some physical and emotional fatigue that I believed I could just ignore. It's exhausting trying to prove people wrong. |

Today was a disappointment....in myself, not the dog. I know better than to blame the dog. An effective teacher has an exemplary student. What's great about today is that although I am a dog trainer, I am still an average person. My husband is away for two weeks, I homeschool my kids, I have two dogs that I dote on, I run a business and my kids' social and extracurriclar lives are busy!! I am not fishing for sympathy...at all. Just painting the picture. Average people are busy and average people mess up with dogs. |

Day four went well. The first day with Noel, she peed a total of 36 times from noon to 11pm. Today from 7am-11pm, she peed 11 times. All were outside. That's great news. It could be she was nervous the first day, or was overfed....who knows..but I'm happy with the progress. I am feeding her through toys and during training, so she is eating all day and still the pee count has declined. The crate is doing its job, as she has not had any accidents in there. I have been careful not to leave her in the crate long on her own - only an hour or two and then at night. |
