Luna Performs Or Not?
/Luna has completed week four of this ten week adventure. Her inmate trainer states that some days are challenging with Luna due to her OCD. Just kidding, she does get a bit distracted but does know and will perform her basic commands when prompted.
This last week she did very well at our "show and tell". She nailed every command quick and without a treat or reward. She is exceptional when not distracted.
This last Saturday Ms. Patti and Ms. Lynn from Second Chance Greyhound's came to visit with the intent on seeing how the pups are doing. Of course, Luna had stage fright and did not want to do any of her commands. It was to be expected. We will continue our training and next time Ms. Patti is here, Luna will be ready!
On another hand, Luna loves to go outside and run. She does pull a bit at first when we get outside, no doubt due to her excitement at BEING outside. But after about two minutes, she simmers down and walks like a lady. Luna is a blast to be around.
I sit, I sit!
This week we will work on her commands and her focus when distractions are around and in prison, you can bet there are plenty of those! She goes into her crate well and is great with the "bed" command but the second something exciting happens or someone walks by, she's quick to jump up.
She has been stealing the puppy's teddy bear so her inmate trainer found her one in the toy bin. She loves it and sleeps with it every night with her arm around it. So, if you adopt this sweet girl, you must get her a "Kong Knots Teddy". She'll be a happy camper!
Luna is good around food. She doesn't beg and is really good at the "leave it" command. Her inmate trainer has been trying to get her to fetch. She is doing it but is slow coming back with the toy. She does fetch it but would rather take it back to her bed and play rather than bring it back. It's a CIP - command in progress.
We adore Luna and everyone in the dorm does as well. She is a blast to be around and is quite the socialite. She is a fast learner who loves people. She is sweet, gentle and quite. She will be a great addition to almost any family.
