Progress Table: Day 2 in care

House-training	No accidents so far and toilets promptly when taken outside.
Doorway etiquette	Naturally waits for human to go first
Car travel	Cried when first put in crate but then settled
Mealtime manners	Not making her wait yet as she has just arrived
Basic focus work (Watch), sit and drop	Very food motivated. Can be lured into a sit with food.
Go to your mat/crate/bed	Didn't like the crate at first but is doing well and slept quietly in her crate through her first night and is generally quiet when crated.
1-2 camera-friendly tricks	Too soon
Assess friendliness/neutrality	Calm and confident around other dogs. Very friendly and calm around strangers
Assess other behaviours	Overall she is a very calm and friendly dog. No sign of timidity or shyness. She is people-focused, relatively neutral around other dogs and loves human contact (pats/cuddles). Also sensitive to being corrected verbally

Optional:

Sit-Stay	Too soon
Drop-stay	Too soon
Recall	Too soon
Loose leash walking	Seemed to walk nicely on leash around the house
Slightly more complex trick	Too soon

Socialisation (from the checklist)

Different people of different ages, genders and races
Music - lots of head-tilting when she heard opera :)
Car travel
Coffee machine
Steam mop
Washing machine
Dyson hand held vacuum cleaner
