Snow and More Snow !

We have had continuous snow since she has been allowed out in the garden !

So its not been great temperatures for toilet training ! However we are having some success so far. We are following the advice in the books and only praising her when she gets it right and goes in the garden. However its hard standing around in sub zero temperatures !

We bought a training lead so have made a little use of that so she can have a run around when out walking at open spaces and also she can do some training. Its 15m long !
I took her for a walk this morning. I decided to walk on the pavements so we would only meet dogs on leads. However the first dog we met was one running loose while the owner cleared her drive ! However I just picked Tika up and crossed the road to avoid trouble. However we did then meet a very nice older dog who she said hello to and that went well. He could have eaten her in one mouthful as he was about double her size but it was a good first introduction to other dogs while out for a walk !
