Yeah, I wish.
Ok, so using the time I have with her...how in the world do I teach her how to walk on all-fours while on lead?! Right now it's a constant battle of her dashing in front, zooming back to hit me in the chest, grabbing my hand to see if there's any treats in it and then running back to the end of the lead. Doing 180's aren't having a huge effect on her (at least not yet) because she's just so darn happy to be out of her room that one direction is just as good as another. I'm trying to mark her behavior, she's picking up what "yes!" signals, but that gets her so excited that it pretty much undoes the marking.
I know she needs more exercise. But she's getting much better about not jumping on the door to her room when I walk by!
