Smart Cookie!

Boris is a very smart Greyhound who is full of energy!  He loves to run on the big yard during turnout and absolutely loves to play with his new toys.

Boris has been in the program for three and a half weeks now.  The first week he spent acclimating to prison life, including time spent bonding with his training team.  The next couple of weeks they've worked diligently with Boris teaching him the basic commands, "sit", "down", "here", "wait", "kennel", "heel", and "stay".  Needless to say, it didn't take Boris long to pick up these commands.  He is one smart cookie.

This next week they will focus on fine tuning "stay" and "heel" plus they will work on the stairs which he is afraid to do at this point.  They will conquer them - all in good time.

While Boris has been here, his training team has been working to teach him a few extra commands.  He has learned "paws up" and "lap".  They introduced "lights out" and "belly" this week as well.

With Boris, there is no end to his learning!  Stay tuned . . . oh, here is Boris doing one of his tricks!
