Proud Moment

Eli's inmate trainer says Eli is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!  The bond he and Eli have made is one he will always hold dear to his heart.  Eli is a true friend and will be truly missed.

His trainer gets a kick out of him in the evenings during feeding time.  Eli is so eager to go ahead of him when they go to get his food, but Eli stays right beside him. He's such a good boy.

On Friday's, the inmate trainers have what is called "show and tell."  The training teams come together with their greyhounds and show how they are progressing with their commands.  Eli's alternate trainer was asked to go up with Eli.  He was very nervous, but Eli never took his eyes off of him, and they did great!  This week the command "jump" was added to "show and tell".  Jump is not one of Eli's favorite things to do, but Friday he did it like a champ!  His trainer was so proud of him!

Eli knows his basic commands like the back of his hand, I mean paw.  He is doing great with "shake", but "bow" is still a work in progress.

Eli's inmate trainer says he is really going to miss Eli when he goes to his new home, but he knows he will make his new family very happy.  They are truly gaining a new best friend.
