Baby steps...

So we aren't taking a nice stroll to the park just yet...but Dakota will go to the bathroom outside (most of the time:). We have actually been carrying her outside bc she won't leave the house -- I know, I know she needs to get used to walking out, but if we didn't do this we would never leave the apt...so one step at a time

She isn't very food motivated (ie yummy dog treats) but we have realized that deli meats work! Hopefully next week we will have walked around the block! She enjoys hanging out in the backyard so we do that each night. It isn't ideal bc we have to climb out of our kitchen window so we both have to be home to make it work, but once we are out there she goes exploring!

Here are some recent pics! She still loves her rope and kong but we brought out her little squeaker (a Christmas pressie from the MN Rob's) and she LOVES it!

Glad to see the Christmas presents getting some mileage! Hope you get her outside under her own power soon.

Have you tried electric shocks to get her out? Or a hot poker? I saw it in a cartoon once. She might run off a cliff, but she'll say, "Ya-ha-ha-HOOEY!" on the way down, which is totally worth it.
