Practice Makes Permanent

Another week has gone by, and we are one step closer to the finish line. Just one of the many things we love about greyhounds is their wide variety of personality types and quirks, color schemes, and sizes. But our favorite is their ability to learn. Much like ourselves, some learn faster than others, and that's why Jiggy's trainer says that the most important thing you can remember during training is that slow and steady wins the race. Practice doesn't have to make perfect - the goal is permanence rather than perfection. Anyone can learn something quickly - but learning it well is another story.

Jiggy has been working on sit, heel and stay this week. And since Jiggy loves being right by her trainer's side, the stay command has proved to be quite the challenge. But that's all right, because if everything comes easy, where's the fun in that?! 

Jiggy's trainer says she reminds him so much of himself - she's not a fan of big crowds, and she loves her peace and quiet, which explains why her new favorite spot is in the training room. It's quiet, and usually a good place to be alone. After finishing a training session, Jiggy likes to hang out on her bed and get a good ole ear and neck rub. All in all, Jiggy is hands down the most ADORABLE and lovable greyhound that her trainer has had the privilege to teach.
