Training Continues
Monday, October 5, 2009 at 8:38PM Sheba is so sweet and loving that she has free range of the dorm and can visit anyone she likes because of her gentle spirit and quiet nature. People actually say they feel special when Sheba visits with them because she is so wonderful. She has mastered the "sad dog" face, especially when she is hoping to get some people food from one of the inmates. She is her trainers shadow, perferring to be right by her side at all times.
She likes toys and will stalk the stuffy and pounce on it like a cat, then batting it around with her front feet. They call her the cat/dog in the dorm.
She LOVES water. Outside, she jumps in the pool before the trainer can put water in it. If the pool isn't out, she will stand by the hose and mope. It all else fails, she will splash around in the outside water bowls. When they are finished playing, she stands by the hose to be rinsed off. Sheba gets along well with other greyhounds and the labs in training.
Sheba is a dream to train. She knows all of her commands including wait, heel, sit, down, stay and is working on shake. Sheba cues in on her trainer's body movements very quickly and seems to read body language very well, making it easy to tell her what you want her to do.

I am so excited to see that "Sheba"(..lovely name..even more lovely dog) is having a good time and is training well. It's nice to see the little "adoption pending" beside her name. We look forward to the house visit on the 17th. :)
