Mellie Reporting For Training

Mellie has entered the training program!  Working toward retirement is her new goal!  Her inmate trainer says that, so far, Millie is a little shy as she adjusts to this new place.  She’s already beginning to learn stairs.  She likes it when they put kibble on each step so that she gets a treat as she goes up.  She doesn’t mind putting her front paws up on the step, but she’s not so sure about moving those back feet to the step.  She’s also working on bed, wait and release.  She’s still kinda wondering what her inmate trainer is talking about, but the treats make it convincing.

She did really well getting her teeth brushed, a bath, ears cleaned and nails clipped.  Her inmate trainer says that she’s looking forward to working with this sweet girl!
