Training? No Problem!

Last week the dogs walked up some concrete steps for the first time and Niki seemed eager to go up after watching the other dogs.  She went up and down the steps twice with no problem. 

Niki loves to chase not only other dogs in the big yard, but has great fun playing chase with her inmate trainer as well!  Her inmate trainer got her to jog with him for two laps in the yard.

He says that he cannot express in words how loving Niki is.  She enjoys meeting new people and getting rubbed and petted by everyone for as long as they are willing.  

The “bed” and “kennel” commands are not a problem for this girl.  She still likes to roll over and expose her belly for rubs when her kennel door is opened.  Friday she she got to show everyone in the dorm what she’s learned so far.  She’s doing really well with “hurry,” “let’s go,” “bed,” and “wait.”
