One Smart Girl

Hi there!  My name is Belle!  I used to race for a living but now my inmate trainer tells me I’m learning skills for retirement.  I wonder what that is?  Well, anyway it’s pretty cool I get treats so I don’t mind.  My inmate trainer says I’m very smart; he’s right.  I enjoy learning because I’m good at it and I get treats!  It’s kinda funny because I know what my inmate trainer wants me to do, but I’d rather have the treat first.  I try to hold out, but honestly he’s not learning very well so I give in hoping he’ll catch on soon.  

This week while trying to teach my trainer to give me the treat first I followed through with hurry, let’s go, kennel, release, here, sit, down and jump.  He’s really slow in giving up treats for wait, heel, stay, and bed so I’m a little slower in my response.  I also learned this really fun trick called spin!  I get to go in circles!  I also learned how to shake.  Who knew all these fun things could mean food!  

I love people and toys!  I don’t mind sharing my toys and I’m looking forward to spending more time with my trainer.  Wonder what we’ll do next?
