Look Out World, Here Comes Phoebe!!!

Well, Phoebe had her final testing of commands this week and she did fantastic!  Of course there is the fact that she’s eager to please and will do anything for food!  She’s handling stairs like a pro; no help needed for this girl!  Stand back world Phoebe is on her way to graduation!

Her inmate trainer says that the last 10 weeks have flown by!   He says that Phoebe is so smart that she made the whole process easy for him!  She learns new things easily and has fun doing it.  Her favorite commands are “bed” and “down”.  Her trainer has been working with her on the “stay” command by placing her on her dog bed and saying “bed” and she will just hang out while he walks around.  For the “crawl” command he gives her the “down” command then holds a treat close to the ground in front her and tells her to “crawl”  She’ll inch her way toward the food maintaining all the cuteness in the world! 

He says that he’s going to miss this sweet girl.  Not seeing her wagging tail and happy face every day will be hard, but knowing she’s going home forever makes it all worthwhile!
