Suzy working on her pick ups/get it with Beth

Yes!!! Suzy has done it again!!!

Several weeks ago Beth introduced Suzy to pick ups but she did get it.  So Tuesday I got a wash cloth for her to try and by the time she left on Wed. we had her doing pick ups.  Yesterday I sat down for a few minutes to work with her and picked up her teddy bear toy that we tried at the first with her but she wouldn’t do much with, and she has started picking it up and giving it to me.  Oh, you should have heard my kids praising her.

She is starting to sit without the treats, we aren’t allowed to use treats during the test, so we are starting to move ahead towards our goal!

Beth also worked with her on “come”.  She does pretty good for the most part

Suzy & Beth working on come.

with it.

There is to unlikeable jobs with Suzy!!  Giving her baths and cutting her nails.  I found out last night at All Pets that for Suzy they get $60 to give her a bath, brush, cut nails and if needed a hair cut.  She doesn’t need a hair cut but for $60 I can bath and cut her nails!

Off to do school, house cleaning and training Suzy.  See you all next time.
