Training Continues

This week they've been working very hard on their basic commands.  Lady has learned quite a bit!  Tuesday she did her first "paws up".  That then turned into a "jump".  She has also learned "off".  "Sit" is one command is that is difficult for them but on Friday she sat on her own!  Whoo hoo!!  A party ensued!

Now that the connection has been made for her with the verbal command and hand signal, she sits on a dime now!  She is getting better with the "down" command as well.  Her "stay" is coming along.  They are working on "here" which is also difficult but she is slowly overcoming distractions and distances.  Her inmate trainer can call her from 10-15 feet and she will come.  He has begun working on the "heel" command. 

Overall, she has learned quite a bit in the last few weeks.  She is still the sweetest dog she has worked with.  He has not observed any aggressiveness with her as it relates to humans or hounds.  She isn't too interested in toys yet but that can change at any time.

She's a joy to work with!
