A Stand-up Guy

Kato and his inmate trainer have had quite the adventure this week! He was working with is trainer on the bed command, and the way they do it is this: put a bed by the chair he is sitting in, and have him stand on it. When he gets tired of standing, he'll lay down and then his trainer gives him a treat and says "good bed." This normally takes about 30 minutes. Well, this was not the case with Kato! He stood for two and a half hours! Talk about stamina. Then they called "dog run", our signal for a bathroom break for the pups, so he put Kato back on the bed and finally he laid down. He gave Kato a treat and then they called for a break again. So, let's just say it took a while, but now he responds to "bed" like a champ. 

Kato will sit on the beds but not on the pads or floor yet, but he is getting the hang of the motion. He is a very happy dog and full of life. He loves belly rubs and is such a great dog!  He's definitely going to make a family very happy!
