Job Well Done

The past week has been an eventful one for Johnny.  He has accomplished two new training feats… sit and stairs!  Johnny discovered that those scary looking stairs were not so bad after all!

Occasionally the inmate trainers come across a dog that is not very treat motivated, like Johnny. These dogs can pose their own training challenges, but this is just not the case with Johnny. Johnny aims to please.  He’s just as happy seeing the smile on his trainer’s face and receiving a nice neck rub as he is to receive a treat.  Knowing that he’s done the job well seems to make him proud.  His inmate trainer says this gives a more personal aspect to training for him, more of a sense of accomplishment and he’s thankful he gets to experience this with Johnny.
