Caleb, A Rare Gem

What an amazing boy Caleb is!  This week his inmate trainers added four more commands to his already impressive bag of tricks. They are "visit", "paws up", "catch" and "bang"!  His learning is endless.

"Visit" is where his trainer will point to his knee and tell him to "visit".  He will place one of his front paws on his knee while he gets petted and gets a treat.  Tell him "off" and point to the floor and he will remove his paw.  He will also visit other people that are sitting down.  He is so cute doing this and he loves the attention.

"Paws up" is where he will place his front paws on a surface.  He will do this on a wall, a chain and a window ledge.  "Catch" is where he will catch a toy or treat.  Let Caleb see it and then tell him "catch".

When Caleb is in the "down" position, his trainer will point at him and say "bang".  Sometimes it will take a few times of saying it, but eventually he will roll over and flop on his side and lay his head down.  They are working on Caleb doing this from the standing position as well.

Caleb's inmate trainer knows he is going to miss the special boy.  He's a rare gem and his trainer said it's been a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of Caleb's life for these ten weeks.   He knows Caleb will bring someone many years of friendship, happiness and laughter.  He will keep you entertained.
