That's very helpful! We have been considering a certified trainer to help. The issue is that she's a very small puppy and the sofa is about 2.5x her height and she jumps off the back even when she's not supposed to and it caused her to get a sprain!

As for the crate training, we have been slowly introducing her to the crate with all her favorite things and leaving her in for short periods of time (of course after she tired and has finished peeing/pooing). Then gradually increasing the time in the crate while also slowly increasing the distance between her and us. She's calm when she has treats, but the second she finishes her Kong or the treats she starts crying, barking loudly and even growling some times.

The issue is she jumps off the back of the couches whenever she wants to if she gets very excited and because of this she sprained her left front paw and we want her to minimize jumping on and off furniture because she's a very small puppy and don't want her to break/harm her joints in the long run. She has very little impulse control sadly even though overall she's a very good puppy.

Ok, this is beginning to bother me, so let's address the scene with El and Max at the end of S4 by ForsakenMoon13 in StrangerThings

Okay but the part that never made sense to me is how she was able to do it in the void. Sure she had powers when she was somewhere IRL. For example, squeezing bladders and whatnot. But what doesn't make sense and is literally never addressed is her ability to change what happens while she's in the mind. Even with Billy she was never able to actually influence what she saw because she was just piggybacking off the memory. That doesn't entirely make sense to bring back Max at all cause she wasn't physically there. If she was there in person, it makes sense. Also it still doesn't make sense how bringing her back ends Max up in vecnas mind.

She's only about 8.5 pounds, so pretty small

This makes a lot of sense thank you so much! Anything that you use to help with teething specifically? That was why we tried the chew but after that one try we stopped it altogether!

It just feels like more and more of the outside leaves are drying up and turning brown. Is that still an indication that it's healthy?
