Kellin is coming along nicely and socializing well with the other greyhounds. She's a very sweet, lovable girl, though she can be shy at times.  She loves going up to other inmates to get attention and petting from them.  She has done well in many environments including the classroom, cosmetology class and walking around the compound.  In training this week she has begun to master the shake command.  She also goes up and down the stairs very well.  Her handlers are currently working with her on her stay by gradually walking further away while she holds her different commands.  They are also weaning her off the food rewards in favor of praise!  Kellin has gotten a lot of exercise this week. She gets tired fairly easily, so her handlers allow for about 30 minutes play time with breaks in between. She does enjoy playing with the other hounds!
