Yesterday and this morning things have suddenly started to click with both Maple and Gromit.
Maple is starting to go to the door to indicate when she needs to pee and poop.
Last night she slept through from 10:00pm to 5:00am. At 5:00am I took her out for toileting. It took a half hour to convince her to do her business on the cold, frosty grass, but finally she did. When she came back into the house, she happily crawled back into her crate and went back to sleep without a whimper. And she didn't want to get up until 7:00am when Gromit was agitating to go out. I think the training we did just before bed time helped to tire her out.
She can now come and sit on command. She can nearly drop on command, but still needs the encouragement of following the treat down to the floor from sit.
Maple is doing quite well with learning bite inhibition. She is not a nippy dog so this makes teaching bite inhibition quite easy.
Gromit is allowing Maple to play and even rough house with him.
Gromit allowed Maple to share his bed for a couple of minutes this morning.
More pictures to follow soon.
