I'm doing 42 things
We just started STAR Puppy class which is a pre Canine Good Citizen class. The first week was awful because there were so many new puppies to see, but this week was pretty good. We did sit, down, and walking on a loose leash. We also worked on taking treats nicely. Brigitta has become a little bitey again, but is getting better with our treat game. This is all review, but with much more distraction. She’s started a phase of testing boundaries, but overall still doing well.

How I did it
It made me
Jubuliant 
How I did it: Focusing day by day. We got on Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover plan, and put our Debt Snowball chart on the wall in the office. Then we cut to the bare minimum. No fun, but now we have no payments! Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: Having to get up to be at work at 7:45am was very helpful, as I knew it would be. I'm still a late night person, but at least I'm used to a regular schedule again. Read how I did it…

This week my cousin, our vet, said that Brigitta was the best shepherd she’s ever seen and the only one she thought would actually be a good therapy dog. Yay! Good girl!
Brigitta is 3 months old today. I had planned to start puppy class with her a couple weeks ago, but it didn’t work out. We should start next week.
I have been working with her at home though. She knows sit and down well. Potty training and crate training are pretty much a success. Her recall is getting better every day, and she now walks on a leash quite well. I’m mostly working stay and a more reliable fetch and just started working on stand.
