Training and Fleas

Flash will be 8 weeks on the 26th, in 16 days. Hopefully by then I can start taking her outside again. I was taking her outside to potty but someone told me it was dangerous for a young puppy to be outside without shots. Her exam is on the 14th and they'll tell me how old she is. I'm not quite sure. But if the vet says that she's old enough to receiver her first shots i'm going to do it of course. The sooner she gets vaccinated the sooner I can start training her more outside.

She is still learning on her sit and stay. Flash is selectively food motivated, meaning she will go gaga for certain foods and others she won't. For example hotdogs are okay but diced ham is even better. Regular dog treats (even liver flavored) don't faze her. I'm out of diced ham but will buy more today so I can commence her training.

She has some scabs on her skin which are from scratching or flea bites. That's one of the issues i'm going to ask my vet about. I've been washing her with dawn dish soap but that can only do so much. I need her to be 9 weeks old before giving her most flea drops or pills.
