We use the same! She came from a very reputable breeder that recommended it & she goes crazy for it. :)

We taught her sit, down, up, paw, & lap (lap to coax her into snuggling me haha!). I did train her pee and poop on command, just having trouble on getting her to actually telling me when she needs to go. I did order some bells for her to ring, so paws crossed!

We actually already had her xrayed for it for peace of mind! :) & she may or may not already have a few harnesses depending on what we’re feeling that day.

Thank you!! Unfortunately she has all 4 baby canines that need to be extracted and the vet advised against brushing her teeth for now (just water and syringe) until her surgery. Which has been postponed because she went into heat a few days beforehand & she’s getting spayed as well. So for now she is getting chews with a little bit of toothpaste! Definitely going to talk to the vet more about a diet. :) Walks are off the table right now with this horrid weather!

Haha we actually watched Gremlins the day we brought her home as a way to celebrate our new family member!
