Stewart the Spinner

Stewart has had an exceptional week! He is the smartest dog his trainer has ever worked with. He picks up on things so quickly and it’s just amazing. He knows let’s go, release, here, sit and bed. He can do all his basic commands already, just not always on the first try. He gets so excited, so his trainer walks him and allows him time to calm down, and then he will do them all without delay. By the time he leaves, he will have no problem knowing them all.

Each week on Thursday the hounds have show and tell. This is where they all get up in front of everyone and are graded on how well the dogs do their commands. The first time Stewart did show and tell, he got all 10s and one 9 (which was for “heel”). The last show and tell he did, he got all 10s and one 9 on “jump.” And they just started on jump two days before the test, so a 9 is pretty darn good! Now Stewart has no problems with jump.

Stewart’s trainer has found no aggressive behavior towards anything whatsoever. He will make a great companion for any home; he loves people and lying around on his bed with his Kong full of peanut butter. He is still amazed by the TV and enjoys watching it. When he gets excited, he will spin around in a circle and it is so funny to watch!
