Hard to Resist

Ms. Niki worked on stairs the week.  She had no problems going up or down them. She was almost eager to do them, so she could look and smell everything at the top. Such a curious girl. She is a little slow to respond to some of her commands, but still has time to master them, and her inmate trainer is confident that she will.

This week one of Niki's training highlighted moments was working on "counter-surfing."  No owner wants their dog to steal food or other things off of the table or counter.  So the inmate trainers take their greyhound into the training room and will put all types of food on a table. They walk their dog close to the table, and when they go to grab for the food they are told "leave it", giving a slight tug to reinforce the command.  If they are off leash they use a loud noise to reinforce the command as well.  Niki knows the "leave it" command and will look up at you for her next command.  Those big brown eyes and sweet face make Niki hard to resist. She's ready and waiting for her forever home.  Could it be yours?
