Sweet Fellow

It's blog time again for Mr. Chance.  As usual, he had another great week.  He's mastered all his basic commands, so his trainer introduced a couple low-key extras, since Chance is such a laid-back kind of guy.  He is learning "paws up".  This is where his trainer will point to an object, like a chair, and say paw up.  Chance will then put both front paws on the chair.  The second extra command is "shake".  This is a big deal for Chance, because when he came to the prison, he did not like for someone to hold his paw.  He is doing a fist bump kind of shake, but hey, it's a start and his trainer will keep working with him on it.

Chance is loving toys more and more.  His new favorite toy is a blue whale with a sonic squeaker.  Supposedly humans can't hear the squeak, but dogs can.  To us it sounds like a puff of air when he squeaks it, but Chance loves it.

Chance's trainer is really enjoying his time with this sweet fellow and he knows his adoptive family is going to be very happy to have Chance in their life.
