So far it's going great with Porsche. She's very good walking on a leash and coming and sitting. Only thing that will be tricky is that she will defecate in her crate when I'm gone. I imagine she was forced to live that way and now doesn't try to hold it not expecting to be let out again soon enough. It happened three times in a row when I was gone for only 2-4 hours at a time. I've got her on a schedule now and have since gone two times with no problem. Since I work at home and it's not often I go somewhere she can't, this hasn't been a big problem. But I'm going to have to figure out how to help her change this habit before she gets adopted.

Any suggestions?
