Update

Kaiah is happily chewing a bone on the rug in the den. She was more timid than usual for few days after her spay. But in the last few days she has been back to playing in the yard, chasing Marley around, and going for long walks. She is taking treats from our hand. However, this hasn't helped us much in the training process. She still doesn't seem to understand the concept of "rewards." However, I belive we are making progress in name recognition as well as the "kennel" command when we go to leave for work in the morning.

So far so good!
