How's the pup doing? We haven't heard anything about your pointer in a while....

She's fitting in real good. She's still pissing in the house occasionally. Not too often. I keep a close eye on her and crate her when were gone or sleeping.
She is VERY affectionate, and is having a ball with my GSP. He lowers his game physically for her...
She's a little better about protecting the food, but still wants to hoard rawhides. She does not like the other dogs to have them at all.
She's learning to come most of the time... like when she WANTS to. When she refuses, I have to go get her and drag her to where I wanted her to be.
She's still a little skittish about noise but shows improvement there too. When we are playing, we make a point to bang the floor and make a lot of noise to just desensitize her. It seems to be working.
Overall... very good.

My Sarah (choc. Lab) has a mis-hap on the hardwood once in a great while ... mostly if we leave her home alone for more then 10 hours ... on the whole she does real well telling us when she needs to take an "outside" trip...
She does not like handing over her toys... she has a growling and snarling and showing of teeth problem with that but a sharp rap on the muzzle puts a quick end to that ... On a whole she's doing pretty good ... I tried her out on a dead bird a couple of weeks ago.. she had no problems with hand signals or picking up the bird ... the problem was she didn't want to give up the bird when she brought it back... I've got to work on that with her.

Make sure to do some gentle submission training there Bubba. Just hold her down and make her submit to you. I know you have a hard time getting around, but when they challenge you like that, you need to make them submit, not just rap them on the snout. Just my opinion.
