Swap week time! This is the week where the inmate trainers swap dogs to give them a chance to receive commands from new people and to allow them to spend time away from their primary inmate trainers.
Dixie met all the standards with flying colors! Her alternate inmate trainer says that Dixie has a great personality in everything she does and gets along with both humans and dogs. She enjoys chewing on her bone and toys. She’s a loving girl with a great spirit! Her alternate trainer says that it has been a pleasure working with her and he has no doubt that she’s going to steal her the hearts of her new family!
It was testing time this week to see how training is progressing and Dixie did great! She followed through with all of her commands on the first try!
Dixie enjoys playing in the big yard with the other dogs. There are a couple of other dogs that try to bully her around a bit, but handles them well and holds her own. Dixie is a very happy and loving girl. She’s friendly with everyone and her inmate trainer believes that she’s going to make her new forever family very happy!
Woo Hoo I got the pen so I, Dixie, am going to tell it like it is! Here it is folks, you’re inside training scoop!
I have to say this new gig is going great! My inmate trainer gives me treats and I follow through with the basic command thingy's. I guess the biggest challenge I have is the “stay” command. I really don’t have time to “stay” as there are important things I need to sniff.
I’m an easy going girl who’s friendly and confident. My inmate trainer just mumbled that I’m a little too confident (insert full doggie eye roll) that’s just absurd a girl’s gotta be confident and besides who’s writing this me or him! So anyway… I love treats and attention and belly rubs are a must! I absolutely adore running outside in the big yard it’s truly fantabulous! Perhaps I get a little excited about being outside and anticipate where we’re going so I pull a little on the leash, but I’m really just trying to get my inmate trainer to understand where we should be going… to the big yard to play! I do enjoy my food and treats so I hope my forever family prepares for that. Well, I hope you check back next week to see what I’ve been up to I have no doubt that I’ll be good at whatever it is so you’ll not be disappointed.
For the past week Dixie has been staying busy. Some of the other inmates in the dorm help with the commands to make sure she responds well to other people making requests. She’s doing great!

Dixie seems to do really well with everything she starts! She seems to be handling the prison and all the changes that come with it really well. Dixie is excited all the time and when she goes out for her first morning break they play to help burn some of her energy off. Her inmate trainer says that Dixie is hands down the most fun dog she’s ever been around. Her excitement can make some things a little more challenging, but she picks up training really fast. She’s a wonderful girl who’s full of love and bound to fill her forever home with happiness!
Dixie had a great week! Her inmate trainer is having a great time with this sweet girl! He says that the more he gets to know her personality the more fun they have together. She’s doing really well with her basic commands and knows “hurry,” “let’s go,” “kennel,” “heel,” “sit,” “down,” and “bed” really well! “Release,” “wait,” “here,” and “stay” are works in progress, but she’ll get the hang of them in no time.

Training is going well! Dixie is treat motivated which helps with the training process. She tends to lose focus so her inmate trainer is working to keep training fun for her. They’ve started working on the “sit” and “heel” commands. Her trainer believes that she’ll have these figured out in no time!
Dixie has arrived at the prison for basic training! She’s adjusting really well to this new environment! Her inmate trainer has been working on teaching her the kennel command, her name, and all about toys. He spends some time in the yard rolling a ball to her and at first she was afraid of it but she warmed up and started grabbing it then running to him and dropping it! Sounds like fetch in the making!
Her inmate trainer is very happy to be working with Dixie and can’t wait to see what the future brings!
