Muku Update

Muku
Hi Kay Lee,

Hope you are enjoying your summer. Here are some pics from a top of Mt. Seymour. It's about a 15 minute drive from our house, and we plan do being doing a lot of snow shoeing and winter activities there this year.

Muku is doing great. She still desperately wants to say hi to every dog and person she sees, but is starting to get the hang of heel and not pulling on the leash. She is great with everyone. She is enrolled in puppy classes, and is starting to get the hang of it as well.

She is well trained inside the house and when we are by ourselves outside. The usual, sit, down, spin, paw, and we have been working on stay, and come.

When she sees other people or dogs all training seems to go out the window for the next 45 seconds or so,until she calms down.She is getting better though, and carrying her favorite treats definitely helps keep the attention focused on you.

Ben and Muku are great together. Even the cat has somewhat warmed up to her. There are still the odd warning hiss to remind Muku who owns the house, but Muku does not really pay much attention to them.

We couldn't be happier with Muku.

Hope all is well,

Brad


I don't think she could be happier than she is with you. ~ Kay Lee
