Thank you so much for the tips and encouragement. We adopted her 9 years ago so she seems to be doing pretty well with the house layout. I've noticed her following the edge of the rug as a guide to her bed. She's coming upstairs more recently which scares me but she's very cautious. She can still see light and i think she's coming up to let us know the sun is up. I will put a rug at the top, bottom, and landing to help alert her that she's approaching them.
I put air tags on her little brother and sister because they're escape artists. She doesn't normally leave the yard, but she's begun following the little ones around the house/yard (maybe because of the collar jingle?) so it would probably be a good idea to tag her. I'm going to start working with them on coming to me for a treat when the collar beeps.
We don't take her out a lot as she's always been anxious in public, with a tendency to growl and even nip. We suspect her vision has always been poor as she always seemed startled by quick-moving kids or dogs. We probably need to start doing more regular walks to keep her entertained/simulated.
I'll try some new commands with her and see how she does. She did well clicker training with a few basic things so i hope she can pick up some new ones. We've been working on not leaving our shoes out and keeping kitchen chairs pushed in. She's doing ok in her normal areas, but sometimes misses the door if it's dark out or if we don't hold the door all the way open.
Than you again for the tips and encouragement.
