More Socialization

Daisy went to the Bass Pro Shop today with our wonderful dog trainer.  She met at least 100 people - of all ages and races,  one with a cane, one using a walker, a woman with a head scarf, people with hats, babies in strollers, toddlers with diapers, went up a down a huge stair case, rode the elevator (2x!), walked on cement floors, bricks, carpet, faux wood floors, real wood floors, mulch and grass.  She sat on the check out clerks counter and gave her puppy kisses...  It was a great day, and Daisy exceeded my every hope and expectation! 

daring Daisy!

Daisy is growing!  On 06/11/09 she weighed 17.2lbs, and today 06/29/09 she weighed 22lbs!   She is taller too!  This weekend she had a new adventure.  With socialization in mind, we joined a friend in a private agility class; just to go into a large training facility, walk on the rubber floor etc.  Daisy was a natural!  She learned to "tunnel", walked on the "teeter totter" and even did the dog walk!   Our trainer told us she was "confident and fearless"!   She liked the dog walk so much she did it three times after her initial walk on it! I only got one picture of her on the teeter totter -- I was worried she might fall off the dog walk so I just walked beside her.

My ears don't know which way to go! This week I have worn one up, one down.   

Daisy's stair challenge

Here I am trying a new "short cut" to go upstairs into the house....  It didn't go as planned!

Daisy's Here

Daisy arrived home on Saturday, June 6, 2009.  She came directly from the home of the Shiloh Shepherd Breed Founder, Tina Barber.   Her mother is Cheyenne and her father is Warba.  The litter was born April 8, 2009.  At New Zion she was known as "Pink Girl" or "Pinkie".  She is the "real deal" -- an ISSR Shiloh Shepherd.  We all have fallen madly in love with her.
