Back to Basics

This past week has been all about the basics, much to Jasmine's chagrin.  Since she has a bit more energy than most Greyhounds they have been mostly working on the "bed" and"stay" commands.  She will go to her bed on command, no problem, but has trouble staying there.  She is much more interested in floating around the dorm channeling her inner social butterfly while trying to convince others that her inmate trainer never feeds her.  She will do this by looking at you with sparkling, cute, longing eyes that just tug at your heart strings and makes you either love on her or feed her.  She is happy with either but prefers a tasty treat.  After all, she does resemble a mixture of a Jersey cow. 

Jasmine has also turned into quite the morning time "Little Miss Sunshine".  When she first comes out of her kennel, it's all about tail wagging and she's bouncing around as if she hasn't seen her inmate trainer in ages. 

This coming up week they will begin preparing for the AKC Good Citizen test.  He has no doubt she will pass due to her willingness to do her commands with or without treats.

She's been quite a joy to train!  There is definitely going to be one lucky family out there who adopts this sweet girl!
