Practice Makes Perfect

This has been a good training week for Lilly.  Apart from practicing all of her basic commands, Lill has also been learning to socialize and take commands from others.  She will do her tricks for anyone.  She is a little hesitant at first, but after a few minutes (and lots of treats), she is fine.

She is also fine tuning her list of extra commands which is quite extensive.  She has learned "show me love", "bow", "kisses", "fetch", "drop", "give", "take", "back", "visit", and "paws up".

She loves playing fetch in the pod.  When outside, she will run to a ball or toy but cannot be counted on to bring it back.  She has most definitely taught her inmate trainer how to fetch though!

After a good game of fetch and practicing her commands, Lilly has come to expect a nice belly rub.  She looks at her inmate trainer as if to say, "Ok, I did my job, now it's your turn to do yours."  He swears she is training him too!

What a sweetie - her family is going to adore her!
