Responding Without Hesitation

Basso’s inmate trainer says that it’s hard to believe that it is week ten already and that his journey with Basso is coming to an end.  He says that Basso is truly going to be missed!  

Basso did a great job with his command test!  He responded to his commands with no hesitation! The “leave it” command is coming along nicely but still needs a little more work.  Every morning Basso and his inmate train spend 5 to 10 mins working on commands then spend about 30 mins playing and having fun.  Basso loves to fetch and catch toys, especially balls.  He doesn’t always like to return the toy, but he’s learning to exchange it for a treat.  His inmate trainer says that sometimes Basso will sling his head back and throw the toy at him as if saying, “here you catch it”. 

Basso sleeps with his tongue sticking out and usually forgets to pull it back in when he wakes up. His inmate trainer says that Basso is so cute with such a wonderful personality that he’s sure to make a happy addition to his new family.
