Need a clue what to do next Alpha?
Just take her on a drive to a shopping mall that has a Petsmart or Petco, and take her inside. Watch how (and where) her eyes light up, as you walk down the leash and collar aisles. As she looks longingly at some of them and matching sets. See if she starts to get glassy eyed by the large wire cages. Check out if she starts to get all smiley looking at the matching water and food bowls or starts to drift off near the soft puppy beds, as she day dreams about you telling her to curl up in one back home.
Take a look at some toys you might have her fetch. If she starts running up the aisle cause she sees something she likes, tell her, "Heel!" and see what happens. Maybe you two could check out some puppy training books for ideas to adapt.
Let her pick out one or two things you will buy for her. At the check out counter , pet her head or scratch her behind the ear. Start thinking of a new name for her.
In the front of the store, they have a machine where you can buy a little metal tag in various colors and shapes, and print anything you want on it. Like "Alpha's Pup" walk her buy it and pause for a few moments thinking about what you'd put on the tag you will fasten someday to her collar.
On the way out, she'll probably be so happy she'll want to lick your hand!
