First Impressions

The first week is always so very short since the pups arrive on Thursday and our first summaries are due on Sunday.  Dottie's inmate trainer says she is a beautiful brindle girl who's coat is rich in color - deep and dark!  She's the prettiest brindle he has seen in a long time.

Thus far Dottie appears to not be a bit fan of the leash.  She pulls a bit in her attempt to explore her new surroundings.  This will decrease during the days to come - it always does.  He hasn't officially begun training but has been working with her on her leash etiquette as well as "wait", "let's go" and "kennel".  She is picking up on her new name as well.

Next week training commences fully as they work on "sit" and "down".  Dottie is very food motivated. She also loves toys so he has plenty of things to bribe her with during training.  Dottie is very smart - he is sure she will learn her commands without any issues in a short amount of time.

Stay tuned for more updates!
