Good Girl. That deserve a belly rub.  

YEAH Tika 

That's progress! 

Yes. You're a good little dog. Now where is my slipper? 

Congratulations! Maybe a ham bone is in order. 

Cute little Tika, good little Tika. What a treasure you have. J 

Good job Tika, Papa and Mama should be proud! Where's her treat Papa?  

Where's her treat. Pfft! She gets to live with me. :D 

Congrats! 

Now into day 6. She whines to go outside. Works for me. Will do the bell training a little further down the road. 

Splain the bell training.  

Apparently you can wait until the dog cues you, then ring the bell, take them outside and let them go. Once they get the association, you hang the bell and get them to ring it when they want to go. Eventually, they just ring the bell. "Oh, butler. I need out." 

Our dog didn't catch on to bell traing, where a string of bells is hung by the door. You jangle the every time you take her out, and eventually she'll jingle them to ask you to let her out. I think the younger the better. My dog just gives me a very subtle look when she needs out. Won't bark or whine. Some family members can't see the look and I can miss it if I'm not paying attention. I'd rather have bells. Good luck and I think she/he looks like a great walking partner! ☺
