Tundra - 6 Months old - Improvement Goals & Forth Comings

What is it like to own a high content wolf-hybrid? This breed is smart! So I figured I would compile a list of some things that Tundra has learned, needs improvement on and other things every six months.

Things She CAN do:

• Sit
• Laydown
• Speak & "Say Please"
• Shake a Paw
• Belly (Laydown while exposing the belly)
• Stay (half the time)
• Open doors (apparently)
• Walk Nicely
• Potty Trained
• Certified Bug Eater/ Exterminator
• Not to jump up when serving her food
• She'll retrieve a ball/frisbee already

Things she needs IMPROVEMENT on over the next 6 months:

• Stay
• Come
• Stay "Off"'

Words she understands:

• Food/Hungry/Eat
• "Water"
• "Don't Bite"
• "Gentle", "Take it nice" (feeding food from hands)
• "Belly", Laydown, Sit, Paw, Speak (Say Please)
• "No Speak", "No"
• "Kennel"
• "Go to bed"
• "Shoes"
• Her Toys: "Slipper","Ball","Football", Frisbee","Red Bone"
• "Leash", "Off Leash"
• "Go Play","Go Get it"
• "Come" (she knows she just doesn't listen)
• Pee & Poop (Jason says the foul version of poop)
• "Tail"
• "Jump up", "Down","Off"
• Nicknames 8 +: "Miss Tundra","Miss Thang", "Stinker" almong others

Some things I'm HOPING She'll learn by 1 year:

• Walking without a leash (she does this now only on our property with us)
• Putting her toys away (haven't yet attempted)
• Close the door after herself
• The food on nose trick (Jason had his old dog [Boston Terrier] learn that trick)
• Get Jason a Beer (nah, I'm kidding, she'd help herself too)

For being only 6 months old, that's a pretty impressive list of things a dog can do. I might have missed a few things as its all off the top of my head but think about it... a human baby at six months can only crap itself and drool... wolves have to learn fast in the wild in order to survive. High content Wolf-Hybrids are a very intelligent breed. They can be a bit harder to train because, unlike dogs,  they  seek your respect/friendship every day... its hard to explain until you experience what it's like to live with a wolf.
