So in less than 2 weeks Sky has come on leaps and bounds!
After 2 nights she moved off our bed onto a dog bed on the floor of our room.
Then just over a week in (Saturday night) we shut our bedroom door and put a bed outside. She settled fine.....
However, in the morning, I noticed an olive in pieces on the rug in the lounge. I assumed it had fallen off my pizza the night before and she had found it somewhere, but realized she did not like the taste! but when i opened the pizza box on the top of the oven (which was shut, not on the floor) the two slices I had left last night had gone! skilled lady had managed to open box, remove pizza, without knocking box on floor, and removed olives before eating it
not really after much advise- irritatingly our downstairs is quite open plan- kitchen in an alcove with an arch too wide for any stair gates. We do have an extra high dog gate to shut the living area off- but it has a baby lock type thing that is hard to open with baby in arms so we rarely used to shut it.... but need to now! she gets a bit stressed shut downstairs- although this has improved so much in just 10 days.
last night we left the gate open so she could camp by our bedroom door if she wanted to, but by the cushion movement I think she was on the sofa most of the night. (nothing food related on kitchen counters!)
does anyone else have a skilled food thief?! not used to it- our GSD was fab and you could even leave food on the coffee table- perfect height for his head- and he would not touch it!
