Special Guy

This week, Tigger did commands in front of the entire dorm for show and tell. He did really well considering the number of distractions, and how excited he was. He has been doing so well and is SUCH a smart dog.

Surprisingly, a couple of times this week Tigger has been the one leading his classmates during their run on the big yard. He does loves to run, and it is a joy and wonder to watch. Besides his commands, his trainer has been working on a few extra commands that he thought a forever family might like. One is “shake,” and he does this one from a sitting position. You turn your palm upside down and he will lay his paw right in your hand!

He is also learning “bow” which he already does when coming out of his kennel and stretches, so this one was a breeze to teach. Hold your second and third fingers side by side and make a sweeping motion going from the top down, almost like a “U” with your fingers and he will bow!

This coming week, he will be with another trainer for the entire week to see how he does with someone else; His commands, how he acts - everything will be new to him!

It won’t be long before Tigger graduates and then he will be ALL YOURS! His trainer hopes you enjoy having him around as much as he has. Take care, and happy holidays from Team Tigger!
