Learning The Ropes

Otto has made great progress this week!  Otto is the kind of guy that prefers to be out and about.  He’ll go into his kennel when requested, but he looks at you with those soulful eyes clearly working you over in an effort to convince you to open the door.  His inmate trainer says it’s hard to resist those eyes, not to mention Otto is such a joy to have around that a person might come close to giving in.  Otto likes to hang out on the bed and chill while his trainer is watching TV. Never fear though, Otto is learning the ropes and picking up on his command really well.  

Otto finds training fun when his inmate trainer makes it upbeat and fun.  He can have a little shy side, but his inmate trainer believes this will pass as he gets used to this new place.  

So far the main training goal has been focus.  You see, Otto is very nosy… errr, interested in what everyone else is doing.  He’s figured out that if he focuses on his trainer he gets a yummy reward.  

Otto loves to play with balls!  His inmate trainer says that he wouldn’t be surprised if Otto started trying to play basketball with the other inmates!
