Sand!

This week Cutty has discovered his love for sand in the big yard.  He will run straight to the volleyball court and turn lap after lap in the sand then plop down for a quick breath.  After resting a bit he promptly starts digging a hole just so that he can stick his head in it! 

As far as his training goes his inmate trainer is in the process of replacing his food rewards with love and praise.  He loves to be petted and receive attention, but he’s not so sure about this new change.  For the sit and down commands he prefers to have a reward he can sink his teeth into and send to his belly.  For visit, kiss, bow, speak, and show me love a good ole scratch behind the ears is payment enough. 

Cutty loves attention and will make his rounds to anyone willing to dish out love for free.  His inmate trainer has been trying to limit all the free love  so that it can be used as a reward during training.  Cutty has other ideas and will turn his charming cute face and pleading eyes to his inmate trainer who has a hard time saying no.
