Puppy at 18 Weeks

Lizzy is now 18 weeks old and 37.2 lbs. Overall she is doing very well. We’ve only had one accident in the past few weeks and that occurred on the stairs leading outside. She had just recently been outside so I had ignored the fact that she was by the side door. I’ve learned my lesson, now regardless of how recent she’s been outside, I put her out again.

Her learning pace has slowed down, but overall she is progressing well. She has learned what “puppy class” means and will go crazy if we mention it. So we have to be careful so we don’t get her over worked up. Our biggest problem still is that she wants to jump on the furniture. We’ve tried a number of methods, but they don’t seem to be working. I’m just hoping that after a few more weeks she’ll stop trying to jump on the furniture. We’ll see.
