Counter Surfer!

Now that Ellie is bigger (nearly 22" at withers) her favorite pastime is counter surfing!

Nothing is safe. She is same with the dining room table, if there's food to be had she will sneak up and make a grab for it. She can even get her head into the sink and get food out of the waste disposal.

I think I will be starting to crate her at mealtimes (I know I've said this before, but it is becoming a really bad habit lol). 

Ellie is also becoming increasingly vocal. She will just simply bark at you if you are not giving her the attention she deserves. I'm not really sure how to deal with her barking, as she is only doing it for attention, it's not aggressive in any way. We are also trying to train her to stop jumping up at visitors (a pet hate of mine). We are all using the 'turn away' and give no attention strategy, but, as with everything, it's going to take time.

I think I tend to make her sound like a total horror, she isn't, she's just a very determined puppy :)

Caught in the Act!

 Breakfast in peace :)
