Back Rubs And Chase

This week Goose and his inmate trainer have been working to reinforce all of the basic commands.  His inmate trainer is proud to report that Goose is responding to his commands quickly and efficiently!  He is a little reluctant to remain in the down position on his bed, but his trainer is working to extend this command and has no doubt that Goose will be performing like a pro soon!  They have also been working on touch and back this week.  Goose is a quick learner and treat motivated.  As training progresses the treats will be replaced with praise rewards. 

Goose is doing much better with sharing his toys!  His inmate trainer says that he doesn’t mind sharing at all when you have his attention. 

Goose and his inmate trainer have been playing chase.  His inmate trainer can’t seem to stay out front very long, but Goose loves the game so he jumps in there with him. 

Goose loves to have his back rubbed!  His inmate trainer says that Goose has become a very special friend who has a calming effect and seems to be able to read his trainers moods.  He says that when he feels like he needs a hug Goose will lean on him as if to say he understands.
