Ok Kodee is 11 wks and by all accounts doing great in so many areas. Today she asked to go out every time! What a feeling to see her scratching and whining at the patio door - oh proud mommy here! Her food issues are solved (thank goodness) and her stools have firmed up with the added pumpkin, no more Purina Dental Chews and going 50 Innova puppy 50 Canidae. She sits on asking, adjusted to an xpen 3x a day and plays nicely in den or kitchen. This site gave me 2 ideas to try for her shoe biting habit (bitter apple on laces!) and using food infront of her to practise loose leash walking.
BUT, aint there always a but.... cars. She is terrified! Not to be in them but to see them. She loves to go out to the backyard on a line with me - so much she spents 3x, 45 min playing since today was sunny warm. But I have had her out to front walk on about 4 times. Each time she shakes and I mean really really shakes as she goes around the corner or through the front door before I even get her down. Then when down she starts frantically running here and there like a mad woman. If she hears a car (even off in the distance) she flips (I mean that literally, somersaults). I cant figure out what set this off! She is brave, daring and inquisitive everywhere else - not a shy puppy. I am not sure what to do? Ideas? Anyone else have this?
