Sammie Loves Kisses

Sammie is doing great! She now does all 12 basic commands, although she is a little hesitant on several of them for now. It is more of her being apprehensive than confused, which she has plenty of time to correct. Her secondary trainer conducted show and tell this past week and he and Sammie passed with flying colors. So, he knows that she knows her commands, and when crunch time comes she has no issues at all! Honestly, sometimes it's like she can't wait to wow a crowd!

She still likes to play in the training room with her squeaky toys and run on the big yard, but both activities sometimes bore her quickly. Someone get this gal a library card! Maybe Sammie just needs some variety in her intellectual stimulation. Once she graduates, she'll need you to teach her courses in Tricks and Treats: Culture and Theory, and Who's A Good Boy: The Answer We've Been Waiting For! 

She likes interacting with the other dogs in her class, and gets along with them as long as they don't invade her space on her bed or in her kennel. And be forewarned: this sweetheart is a licker! And when she is released from her kennel at any time of day, she gives little knitting massages on your hands and gives PLENTY of kisses! She is just so excited to meet and greet, and she loves to lurk around and enjoy the sun.
