"Sit, "Down", "Heel"

Weekly testing of their commands has turned into quite a show with Rascal.  He gets so eager and excited that he will be doing his commands before his inmate trainer asks him to.  Anything for a treat and he loves his treats!  He likes attention, but the way to this boy's heart is food!

Rascal's trainer can take him to the training room and just stand there.  Rascal will do a "sit", "down" and "heel" without asking.  Each time he will look up at his trainer to be treated, hopefully.  LOL!  The trainers try to mix up the commands, so the dogs can't anticipate what's next.  Maybe Rascal can read minds...

Starting today, Rascal will be spending the week with another trainer.  It's called swap week.  This helps the trainers see how the dogs take commands from other people and see if they have any separation anxiety.  Rascal's inmate trainer doesn't think he will have any problems with either.  Check in next week for more updates on the "go through all my commands for a treat" Greyhound, Rascal.
