Trying Out New Things

Each ten week training session would not be complete without swap week!  Around week eight the trainers swap dogs to see how they work with others and test for separation anxiety. During the first two days Meeka missed her primary trainer, but after the third day she was back to her old self.  

Meeka is not an extremely playful girl, but she does enjoy a squeaky toy.  Her alternate trainer says that it was a treat to see her fall asleep with the toy still in her mouth!

In this training program they have ten weeks to train the greyhounds.  Many are trained much earlier, as is the case with Meeka.  She didn’t have any problems obeying commands with her alternate inmate trainer.   He says that she’s great on the leash, always staying by his side.  She does well with recall while outside in the big yard.  

Meeka’s alternate inmate trainer says that he enjoyed his time with Meeka and has no doubts that her new family will quickly fall in love with this gentle, sweet, and loving girl!
