Pics as requested;

She's learned how to shake:



Well, sort'a:



Her most favorite thing in the whole world:



We're slowly making progress with her--as the old saying goes, "two steps forward, one step back".

Her p.o. apparently encouraged her to engage in fairly rough &quot;mouth play&quot;, i.e. &quot;play biting&quot;. We've had a few light &quot;nipping&quot; incidents, but she hasn't aggressively tried to bite, she just <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> wants to play rough. This is proving to be the most difficult issue to break right now since she's so high-strung. She goes from 0-60 in a nano-second which makes it a bit of a challenge to reel her in.

I've had to resort to submission holds a few times to get her to calm down, but Rachel doesn't have a firm handle on doing that yet.

I can definitely see why the p.o.'s mother was nervous around this one. So far she's been fantastic with dad, she hasn't been overly-aggressive with him at all--she goes into full submissive puppy-mode when she's around him, but she's still all wiggles and squirms. Dad's been around dogs all his life, so he's not afraid of her at all...we just have to watch <span style="text-decoration: underline">him</span> like a hawk with her because he'll also encourage the rough play if we let him (think &quot;grandpa&quot; spoiling a grand-kid).
