Smart Girl with a Sweet Streak

Roxie has taken off this week with her level of cooperation and willingness to learn. Her trainer had expected her to be sitting by now, but she has taken his expectations and blown them out of the water. Although occasionally she will need to be bribed, she executes both the sit and down commands perfectly almost every time. Roxie is also doing very well with stay from whatever position she is in when the command is given.

The only basic command they have not begun working on his jump. They did a brief stair training session this weekend and Roxie was a little reluctant to climb the stairs the first time, and she was definitely happy to return to flat ground after the descent back down. The second time through she did moderately better, but it's something that will still need to be worked on. Everyone knows that stairs are hard for Greyhounds because they have those long toothpick legs on a big body. As a whole, Roxie is doing a superb job and has stolen her way into the hearts of many of the trainers with how sweet and affectionate she is, not to mention utterly adorable. Roxiewill brighten up any home she is adopted into.
