Gaining Confidence

Riley’s inmate trainer says that Ms. Riley is a very sweet girl.  She’s getting more comfortable on shiny floors and is adjusting to the new environment.  They have been working on “heel, “sit,” and “stay” this week.  Riley is grasping the concept of learning new things.  She seems to value play time more than treats so her inmate trainer rewards her by tossing toys and playing.  She leaps and pounces on the toy like a cat, then brings it to her inmate trainer ready for another go.  Her inmate trainer says that he’s not sure who is having more fun him or her!  

Riley is working on the “kennel” command, and already knows her name, “here,” “wait,” “let’s go,” and “bed”!  This coming week her inmate trainer hopes to teach her “sit” and “heel”.
