Gentle and Lovable

It's already week four! Time is flying and Polly and her trainer are having fun. Polly has done all of her commands perfectly at least once, which is awesome. Now he just needs to get her to do them perfectly every time! Her secondary trainer has also begun working with Polly, working on commands and also bonding with her. Things are going really well with her secondary trainer. 

Lately, her trainer has been playing with her using toys and seeing how she responds. Short answer: very well! She loves squeaky toys and chew toys, but you can safely take the toy away with a "give" command, without any problem. She's such a sweetheart though, she'll give the toy up with just a hand signal!

Polly also worked on stairs again this past weekend and there were no problems there. Up and down with only slight hesitation on the down part; slow and steady, no jumping, and a nice treat to top it all off. The main thing is that there's improvement - the treats help overcome the hesitation toward the end, and she learns and improves with each session. Polly is an absolute dream to work with and so lovable that you just wanna pet her all day!
