Happy Everyday

Molly’s inmate trainer believes that it’s very important to have a well behaved dog at meal times.  In the beginning Molly had some trouble with her table manners, but with work and patience she has her routine down!  Her inmate trainer starts by putting Molly in her kennel, leaving the door open and telling her to stay before he walks away to get her food.  He puts the food on top of the kennel then walks 5-10 feet away then tells her to heel, sit, and stay.  He walks back to the kennel and places her food inside and says “kennel” to release her to eat.  She knows this so well now that he doesn’t have to give her all of the commands. 

Her inmate trainer has also been working on verbal only and hand signal only cues.  Molly is doing great and will do all of her basics with hand signal only cues and about 60% with verbal only cues.  Molly’s training team has been very involved with training and she will do commands for anyone! 

Molly gets excited when meeting new people and wants to jump with enthusiasm, but her inmate trainer has been working to correct this behavior.   

Molly’s trainer says that she has been a true blessing to work with.  He says that Molly is all about playing and loving.  She is happy every day!  He says that whoever has the privilege of adopting Molly will be overjoyed with her.
