Outgoing and Loving

Another week has flown by!  Zoe and her inmate trainer spent the week touching up her basic commands and working on the recall command.  Zoe works hard to do everything requested of her, but she’s not so crazy about sitting without the promise of a treat reward!  Her trainer is working to wean her off treats during the training session, but will reward her with one or two after the session is over. 

Zoe is an outgoing girl who loves toys and people.  Her trainer says that she will get excited quickly, but will calm down quickly as well. 

Next week is hound swap week where the inmates trade out hounds for training.  Zoe will get to stay with an alternate handler away from her primary trainer.  This will help her accept new environments and accept commands from new people.  Her trainer is going to miss her, but knows without a doubt that Zoe will do a phenomenal job.
