The last few mornings, Maddie has woken up happy and ready for the day. She’s been bouncing around wagging her tail with happiness.
She’s doing really well with all of the commands. They worked on everything this week except “down.” So far she hasn’t shown any interest in toys, but she will chase after a tennis ball. She really likes it when another dog plays with the tennis ball.
Maddie loves to be around her fellow greyhounds and seems to feel a sense of security around the pack. She still tends to be shy around people, but is very loving and trusting with her training team that she has formed a bond with. She surprised her inmate trainer during Show and Tell this week by doing a fantastic job with her commands in front of everyone. Her inmate trainer says that he’s spent a lot of time with Maddie and it’s going to heartbreaking to see her go.
