Well, sweet little Ruby goes home tomorrow. She has done so well over the past 7 days and she will be thrilled to see her people again. I think more than anything she will miss her friend, Ace, who has been her playmate this week.
She now knows the commands Heel with Autosit, Sit, Come, Down and Place while she is wearing a leash. She still needs a correction here and there, especially for Down, but she is knows the word "no" now and is responsive to it. She needs discipline because her attention span is still very short and she still has a LOT of puppy antics left. Her playful spirit is still very present and she will try to manipulate her way out of work if she would rather play.
The task now set to her family is to practice. She has the foundation and she needs her family to have high expectations of her or she may backslide into old habits. But with practice, firm upholding of the rules, and a sense of humor, this little pug will be charming her family for years to come.
