Anything for a Squeaky Toy

This week Daphne has made a lot of improvement on all of her commands. She impressed her trainer the most with learning down in just a few days, by far the fastest of any dog he's ever trained! She also began playing with toys recently and her trainer has discovered that she is VERY toy-motivated. Balls and stuffed toys are okay, but if it squeaks, she really wants it! Thankfully, she's already made a lot of progress learning to control her excitement.

This week she ran on the big yard for the first time and quickly found a running buddy with one of the other dogs in her class. She was panting with joy after her run. On the other side of all that energy, she has shown her calm side just as much, while relaxing on the bed in the evenings while they watch TV. She's also been giving a goodnight hug by leaning into her trainer’s chest as he squats down in front of her kennel. So if you're looking for a girl with lots of playfulness who still enjoys relaxation time and belly rubs, look no further than Miss Daphne!
