Dixie has done so much better this week. She's more confident walking around the compound on her leash, with only occasional timid moments when there's a lot going on. She also goes up to people more freely. This girl is very sweet with a gentle, calm spirit. She's a first thing in the morning hound, and does get excited to take part in the 8am dog run in the day room. Mostly she prefers not to be in busy places such as the gym and the day room. She will happily lie in the bed area for hours. Dixie is progressing in her training. Her response to the bed command has really improved in the past week. She's also learning to sit and already does a side sit.  Her handler is going to introduce down this week and expects this sweet girl to pick it up quickly.
