Great Rewards

Sugar tried stairs this week and wasn’t too crazy about those weird things.  She was doing better by the third try, but her trainer did not want to push her too hard so he gave her a break and decided to return to it later.  He says that when she’s under a lot of stress she’ll turn into a Greyhound statue therefore he wants to keep things fun.  He rewards her efforts with play time and happiness. 

Sugar loves toys!  She does not like other dogs approaching her bed when she has a toy so her inmate trainer is working show her that’s it is okay to share.  He is also working on jump and stay.  He says that consistency and ending training on a positive note are key.  He wants her to have fun and look forward to training.  She is not a fan of loud noises, but has shown improvement.

Her trainer says that Sugar is a sweet girl who makes his days so much brighter!  He believes that life outside of prison is going to be wonderful for her!
