Annie is just starting to show affection towards humans rather than the other dogs. She's now coming to us to be petted, playing with us, and being very cute. I know seven weeks is around the age dogs change the focus from dogs to humans.
Eva starts obedience June 6th. The tranier is familiar with and loves German Shepherds. She told us Eva's jumping that she's been doing lately is part of the adolescent phase in big dogs. She is testing who's the leader. Eva is 14 months now. The silliness should settle down (with proper training) around age 2. Another good thing is I don't drive and it's a half hour walk to the class, so Eva will have some of her energy burnt off before class.
We're continuing to work with Maggie with hand signals and also positive reinforcement for going to the bathroom outside. She is leashed to me for the next week or so. It's interesting leading Maggie around and following the puppy. Eva still gets lots of ball games too.
Eva is a beautiful German shepherd puppy who came into my life on May 30th, 2008. She loves squeaky toys, frisbees, belly rubs, playing in sand and water, and of course, treats. She recently graduated from puppy kindergarten and I have future plans to continue her in obedience and possibly enroll her in agility.
I am a young adult with Asperger syndrome and although I attend university, I have few friends outside of my close-knit family. Having a best friend who loves me unconditionally has been excellent for me.
