The Best Companion You Could Ask For

This week's training consisted of polishing Chloe's basic commands. She has pretty much mastered all of them, and improved the duration and distance for "stay." She has a little problem while staying in the sit position (in case you haven't noticed from pictures, their butts typically don't even touch the ground when they sit!). She tends to slowly drop into the down position if left in "sit" for too long. So she and her trainer are brainstorming ways to make "sit" more comfortable and increase her tolerance for "stay" in both duration and distance.

Chloe has shown more interest in toys this past week. She's not really into squeaky toys - her thing is soft, stuffed toys. She will play with a squeaky toy if it's a soft, plushy toy. She will also chew on hard chew toys sometimes. She is such a sweet and loving Greyhound and always makes her trainer's day better if he's feeling down or upset (Greyhounds are greyt to have around for winter blues). He feels so lucky to have been her assigned human!
