Detective Rigby Reporting For Training

Detective Rigby reporting in… My Mission:  To be a well-trained, obedient, and loving Greyhound that will make my forever family very happy.  Just four days ago I arrived at my new training facility and let me say WOW, it is a whole new world.  I met my inmate trainer right away and he is firm, but kind.  My first lesson began right away with leash etiquette.  I did very well and learned to fall in step with my inmate trainer. The loud noises and shiny floors in this place do not really bother me.  I’m pretty brave and courageous. 

As soon as I arrived here at the prison I put my natural detective senses to use by sniffing and investigating everything. My trainer has been discouraging me from marking my territory in this new place.  I’m working on understanding his way of thinking because in my world marking is natural.  He’s got these treat things that are helping me understand that he has some yummy, er, good ideas.  I’ve been learning to “wait,” “hurry,” and “kennel.”  My inmate trainer says I’m responding well to my commands.  He says it could have something to do with the amount of treats I receive while training; hey, a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do.  

In addition to my training I’ve received a full makeover!  Now, I was handsome before but look out world I’m rocking it now!  I have to admit the bath was not my favorite part, but only because it was cold!  I did enjoy having my ears being cleaned and my teeth brushed.  I also received a manicure, which I didn’t mind at all.  Everything is going smoothly here in this new world.  Let’s be honest, treats, makeovers, and attention is making this mission pretty awesome.  Stay posted for future mission reports.  Detective Rigby out.
