Gentle and Loving

Ritchie is showing great improvement!  This week he and his inmate trainer have been working on: sit, down, bed, and stay.  Ritchie is doing really well with the recall command with a treat reward.  

Ritchie’s inmate trainer says that while Ritchie is a funny goofball he also is a very gentle and loving boy.  He hasn’t shown any interest in toys yet, but his inmate trainer believes that day is coming because his ears shoot up whenever hears a squeaky.  So far he just sniffs them and moves on.  

When Ritchie arrived at the prison he had Happy Tail.  His inmate trainer is proud to report that it is healing very well!  This week Ritchie got his nails trimmed and it wasn’t his favorite part of the day.  His inmate trainer believes this will improve as they trim his nails more and he gets use to the process.
