The longer she's here, the more we learn about her.
She's taken to the crate very well.
She's not fussy or loud. She will bark if over excited or alarmed, and it's pretty shrill. I've only heard her bark twice: once at the shelter when she heard another excited dog and was frustrated and once today when our Honey barked at the neighbors (because the other neighbor's dog was barking).
She's not house trained, but she's making progress. She had a couple accidents this morning but seems to do pretty well if she goes out every couple hours. We'll build up to three times a day, like Honey, but in the meantime, she's doing well. She does know to use the bathroom as soon as we get outside.
She answers to her name and has great recall. She doesn't run off and so far has done great off leash. She sticks to her person like velcro. She's not allowed on the couch yet, so she can't cuddle on the couch. But she prefers to be right by me.
She learns quickly, especially by example. She only missed about six treats before Honey taught her how to "sit". We'll work on lay down once she gets sit down solid.
I think she's gonna be alright.
