After a little initial adjustment, she's quickly picked up the toilet routine. The first night at home, she did have an accident in her crate, but that was to be expected. Since then, she's been absolutely dry!
We've been using training pads to help her understand where to pee, and we've been gradually moving them closer to the outside door. For a number two, she's been really good about letting us know when she needs to go, and she always does her business outside.
Sleepwise, Bella has been doing really well. There have been a few whimpers when she's first put to bed, which is totally understandable as she's missing her siblings. But overall, she's been sleeping through the night.
Bella is such a keen learner, and she loves to play. It's the perfect combination! She can already sit on command, and she's definitely not afraid of a little bribery.
As you can see in the photo below, she's already sporting a collar. This is a crucial step in acclimating her to the idea of wearing restraints. It's a small but significant milestone in her training.
In the coming days, we'll be introducing her to the leash. By allowing her to wander around our home with the leash attached, we're helping her become comfortable with the feeling of it around her neck. It's a gentle way to prepare her for future walks and adventures.
And soon, we'll be taking Bella to the vet for her vaccinations. This is an important step in ensuring her health and well-being. Following the vaccinations, it'll be a two week wait until we can venture out into the big wide world.
We're so excited to see what the future holds for this amazing little girl.
