Training? Treats? I Got This.

Wow! It’s week 3 already!  Luna’s inmate trainer says that the weeks are passing so quickly that week 10 will be here before he knows it!  He says that he can already tell that Luna is a dog that he’s going to miss terribly after graduation.  

Luna is doing great with training!  Friday at her weekly training testing she did a fantastic job. Her basic commands are going great and she has progressed better than most of the other dogs in her class.  (Proud trainer moment!)  This past week they really worked on focus and follow through.  She’s staying on the bed longer, but still tends to flop down and pop back up.  She’s doing great on the leash and is learning to heel nicely.  So far she has gotten the hang of: heel, sit, down, bed, here, and kennel.  Her inmate trainer has recently introduced: stay, paws up, spin, stay, and jump. 

Luna got a small cut on her paw this week.  She’s doing fine and it is healing well.  This little incident has allowed the “leave it” command to be introduced.  She’s doing great at leaving the wrapping on her foot alone!  Luna’s inmate trainer is certain that her new family is going to fall fast for this precious girl!
