Stair Master Training

Eli’s inmate trainer says that Eli just can’t leave after graduation he’s fallen too hard for this great boy. All kidding aside, he says that Eli is the best Greyhound he’s had the honor to train.  Eli has all of his basic commands down pat. He still has a little trouble with “jump” but he’ll get the hang of that with more practice. His inmate trainer says that Eli understands how to do it he’s just a little scared of the bench he has to jump on to.  

They’ve also been working on a few extras this week:  "leave it", "shake", and "bow". He has “leave it” and “shake” mastered.  He’s still a little slow on “bow,” but he’s getting it. They also had the chance to work on stairs this week. Eli started out okay, but froze after two steps. His inmate trainer said poor Eli looked like, “Dude I’m flying up in the air and there’s no way down!”  After about 10 trips up and down the stairs Eli started figuring it out.  His inmate trainer believes that after a couple of more sessions Eli will be a stair master.  

Eli’s inmate trainer says that Eli is his shadow and will follow him around wherever he goes. Eli has great recall when in the big yard and responds quickly to his inmate trainer’s “Eli Here” call.  His inmate trainer says that Eli is a great dog and friend and he knows that Eli is going to make his new family very happy.
