Problems:
The biting is getting frustrating, but I also realize that as long as I continue correcting appropriately, that issue will go away in a few more months.

Outings:
- Tuesday we walked to Rushton Park and played with our new BarkBox items. Daddy helped me get some shots of the items. =)
- Tuesday evening while I worked, daddy took Elsa and Britta to a friend's house to play with their dogs.
- Thursday morning we walked to Rhodes Park to take photos of the OTHER BarkBox that came in.

Comments:
- Going to buy a plank and PVC pipe. Want to make a couple of teeters to work on the seesaw part of agility. We aren't looking to train professionally, just keep things light and interesting.
- I'm not going to post these updates on reddit anymore. I didn't get any real feedback, just being told to stop training my dog as hard as I am. I think people are misreading what I'm doing as hardcore training. Elsa is only four months old. She has no business going through rigorous training. However, once a day one of her meals is earned by her tricks. She also plays games with me that will later turn into task-related skills. Any agility we do is purely play and just getting used to the strange pieces of equipment. Thanks to my 12-hour shift schedule, I can spend a lot of time play-training. I think it comes off as a lot more rigorous in my blog posts than I ever mean.
- I haven't done much this week. I've been feeling bad and have developed an earache nearer to the end of the week.
