As long as we watch, she practically has no accidents in the house. Just trying to figure out how to teach her to let me know she has to go out instead of me asking her all the time! Her mouthing has been horrible..our fingers, hands, face, throat, etc...and all of a sudden, she has just practically stopped that and it is so great!! Come is impossible unless I rattle celophane with cheese inside...(smart?) and stay, well, she'd just rather not, at least not for more than two seconds. But, with a piece of that cheese in your hand, say shake and a paw will fly up. She just can't decide which one to put up! The leash loves to get buried in her mouth and we try to walk but all those sounds out there!! We have to stop very often, listen, and sometimes get very scared (cars & trucks). She has been babygated in the kitchen, me on the sofa, and we have worked on the crate at the end of the bed, but she does not like it!!! So we will keep trying. Anyone out there with berner pups around this age, and advice, I am listening!! We start formal Pup kindergarten first of April..........Hope all of you enjoy your baby as much as we are!!!!!!!!
