All fenced in now!

Boy do the puppies love to run around the yard all crazy! What a great way for them to get out some energy too. : ) Anyway, Tara is doing well, we stopped at the vet again yesterday and she now weighs 17.1 lbs. Growing, growing, growing! Anyway, I wanted to list what Tara can do, so here goes:
Sit with hand cue
Sit with verbal cue
Down with hand cue
Down with verbal cue
Make eye contact -- working on cue ready
Loose-leash/heeling
Hand targeting verbal cue/hand cue
Recall with verbal cue
Shake with hand cue
Speak with verbal cue
Leave it with verbal cue
Targeting a plastic lid
Off with verbal cue
Drop it with verbal cue (unless its something super-duper good which happened for the first time the other day!)
We're working on stay but haven't added a cue yet - we've just been adding duration to sits and downs with quiet praise
We need to get stand on cue and start working on tracking stuff -- which we haven't started yet. On Sunday she is going to a different puppy play group that we are going to try in Westborough and on Monday we are going into Harvard Square during the day and hopefully we will get a lot more things on our socialization list checked off. Two more weeks after Sunday and the time to easily socialize her will be ending -- so we gotta get as much as possible in before that. See ya all later we are off to Portland shortly.
