Anything for a snack!

Copper improved quite a bit this week with his commands. He did all right on Friday's show and tell, but when it was time to shine for Miss Patti on Saturday, he was a shooting star! And he does his commands even better with a bowl of food as motivation at feeding time. The way to this hound's heart is definitely through his eminently rubable belly! 

As impressed as his trainer is with how quickly and how well he has learned his commands, his trainer is even MORE impressed with his dynamic personality. He's kept his moderate energy level with just the occasional outburst of excitement, appropriately, around toys and when running in the big yard. He's the same with being friendly and has steadily improved with staying on his bed. He seems to really love relaxing outside the kennel, laying nearby while his trainer watches TV with the other trainers on the team. 

Copper has been such a joy to train so far, his trainer reports, and he's looking forward to the remaining weeks of getting to know and love him. This handsome guy will give you years of love and joy if you invite him into your heart and home!
