Sophie Board and Train day 7

Little miss Sophie goes home tomorrow. She has made a ton of progress and had proven what a little smartypants she really is. I will be interested to see how she does once she is back with her brother. They tend to be partners in crime, though Sophie is usually the instigator, I think. The goal now, for her owner and I, is to transition Sophie smoothly back home without creating an environment for back sliding.
The big thing for Sophie is going to be being very strict about her barking. She has been pretty quiet the past few days, even down town. I will encourage her owner to stay on top of this and use her collar to correct Sophie from barking inappropriately. 
I am very pleased with Sophie's obedience. She is a little superstar. Her owner has high expectations of her which is exactly what Sophie needs. She will take advantage of someone who either doesn't know or won't enforce the rules. But with a firm but affectionate handler who is quick to praise and strict with the rules she is very responsive. She is not defiant by nature, more she is a little absent minded and also stubborn. But she is also a little goofball and such a lovebug that she is easy to praise and she is happy to work if it means we will celebrate with her. 
I will miss this little pug. So will Ace. He has become a bit attached to his little pug friend. But I know that little Sophie is sick of her kennel and she will be more than happy to get home to her mom and brother. Good job, Sophie!
