Time To Swap Greyhounds

Time for swap week!  The inmate handlers exchange dogs for a week!  The dogs get to experience commands from a new person and time away from the primary trainers.

Copper’s alternate inmate trainer says that Cooper is a big sweet guy who is gentle and easy going.  He responded to all of basic commands with no problems.  He doesn’t mind sharing his food or toys.  When it’s time to play with toys he’ll play with them for a few minutes then seems to lose interest.  He would get a little excited at meal times and forget to hold his “sit” and “stay” while his inmate trainer placed his food in the kennel.  After working on the commands a little he learned that patience gets him a yummy reward.  

Cooper didn’t mind being away from his primary inmate trainer this week.  His alternate trainer says that Cooper is a loving dog who is going to brighten the lives of some lucky family.
