Teaching an old dog new tricks
BF and I recently rescued a dog. She is part pit and part traveling salesman from what I can tell. I'll post a pic and you all can give me your best guess. Also, I'm guessing she's around 5 years old....

Yes, you're right on #1, Don. I've already put that one in motion right after you posted this.
we have already learned that she can jump at least as high as most gates because she jumps on our bed that is nearly 4 feet high.
What's your guess on the age and type of dog she is?
Does she actually jump over things to get to the trash, etc?
We got Barkley as a puppy. Wen we were at work, we kept him in a pen within the living room which is about 2-1/2 feet tall. Eventually we started coming home and finding he had jumped over the pen and would greet us at the door. We now use sections of that same pen to block off a section of the house as a peaceful sanctuary for the cats. He could easily jump over it, but has never tried. I think it's just enough of a reminder of what he's supposed to do that it works. We've been very lucky with him as far as temperament. He's a rescue from SC - appears to be a shepherd/chow/retriever mix, about 50 #.
Hope you can work through this and end up with a keeper.
