Brightens Every New Day

Roxie’s inmate trainer says that her racing name, Keep Shining, could not be a better way to describe this awesome girl!  He says that it’s hard to have a down day with her around!

Every morning and evening they take the Greyhounds to the big yard so they can get their exercise.  When walking down the hall Roxie gets excited and walks a little ahead of her inmate trainer.  He tells her “easy” and she slows down and stays right beside him.  Roxie loves being outside and will join the other dogs for a short run, but she’s not interested in spending all of her time running.  She will play for a short time but really enjoys exploring and hanging out with her trainer.  

This week Roxie has been working on the “leave it” and “jump” commands.  She’s doing “jump” like a champ!  The “leave it” command needs a little more work, but she’s making great progress.
