Since the beginning, when Bella pees, I've been saying "go potty" softly. Yesterday, a few minutes into our walk, I said "go potty" and she peed as if on command. Perhaps it was a fluke. So this morning, I did the same thing. Volia! She peed on command. Now of course I know her habits, but it's nice to think that maybe she is learning.
The other thing that happened this morning was that after we came home from our short, ten minute wake up walk, she distinctly pulled and we did the loop a second time! Maybe her legs are getting stronger. She also seems to particularly enjoy circumnavigating the back yard before we go in. I had thought that she was avoiding the car, which I still think she did for a few days after our park outing, but now I think she seems to especially like doing a little loop on the grass and under the pines before we go in. She wants to do this fast, too. I think it's fun for her.
