Sammie the Sweetie

Sammie's training as well as her personality are progressing just fine. She is really opening up and playing more as each week passes. Her personality is really starting to develop in particular. This morning, her trainer was surprised to find that she was a little stubborn at feeding time and that she was not wanting to remain in her kennel until she got the release command. There are these firsts every now and then, but not to worry. These pups can be just like our children and at times they will try to see how far they can push a set boundary. It's all in a day's work to teach them differently. It's never boring, and each day is never the same. But the reward is worthy of the challenge.

This week her trainer is integrating the other team members into her training process in more of a hands-on role as opposed to simply spectating. This is helping ease her into contact with others and will also keep her mind sharp. Her stair training this Saturday was close to perfect! Each week she gets better as her confidence builds. This week they're concentrating on jump, sit and stay. Overall, Sammie is healthy, beautiful, sweet, loving, and very smart. Her trainer has no doubt that as the week's build-up to swap week, she will be right where she needs to be and her personality will be in full bloom.
