A True Blessing

Week eight went well for Winston!  They were given the opportunity take a practice AKC Canine Good Citizenship test and much of the week was spent preparing for the test. 

As mentioned before, Winston’s biggest struggle is the stay command.  His inmate trainer is proud to report that with much work Winston has mastered the stay command!  His trainer can put Winston in the stay position then walk away and back without Winston even moving!  His trainer says that Winston is like a loaded spring ready for action when the here command is given, but he listening!

Earlier this week after a game of fetch Winston and his inmate trainer were watching TV in the day room when some dogs on TV were making a lot of noise and Winston perked up and started barking and spinning in circles.  His inmate trainer says it has been a true joy to watch Winston become such a happy dog. 

His inmate trainer has no doubt that whoever adopts Winston is going to have a true blessing with this guy in their life.
