Pesky Fly = Ninja Mode for Roscoe

Roscoe is a very funny boy who loves a brand new day!  He loves attention and will greet everyone with happiness!   He’s very treat motivated which helps with training.  He’s doing great with “say your prayers” and looks absolutely adorable while doing it.   His inmate trainer had noticed that he has a bit of sleep startle which just means he’s a little grumpy when woken abruptly.  (aren’t we all?!)  Make noise, speak to him or toss a treat at him when you want him to wake up so it’s not a startling experience for him.  

He finally ran a full lap outside this week.  One… he ran one full lap before he decided he was over it – done- ready for rest and relaxation.  

So let’s talk about his ninja side… he’ll swing into ninja mode in two seconds flat when he sees a pesky fly around.  It’s like watching Daniel Son trying to catch one with chopsticks during his training with Mr. Miyagi (Karate Kid reference LOL).  

So the plans for the next few days are to work on leash walking.  Inside he’d much rather explore on his own then have to have his trainer showing him around.  He knows all of his commands very well and knows many of them with both hand signal and verbal cues!
