Working for Retirement

Belle has been enjoying her time bonding with her inmate trainer.  She is already very proficient in her commands and knows a variety of neat extras, but the focus for now is bonding so that Belle will trust and happily perform commands for her new trainer.

At first, Belle was pulling a lot on the leash but her inmate trainer has learned that if she gets ahead of him he can say her name and she slows down and walks beside him.  In just a few short days and she’s already making great eye contact and is responding quickly to her inmate trainer’s voice.  She loves getting a special Kong toy filled with peanut butter and crunch treats.  During play times she is great at playing fetch.  She doesn’t seem to mind sharing her toys which is great since she gets really into squeaky toys!
