Maria has been doing very well and standing up to working with the different inmates trying out for the greyhound program. A lot of people trying out ask to work with her as she is consistent doing her commands. Unfortunately they have been giving her a lot of treats in the process, so her handler is working now on getting her used to the idea of training without treats again! Maria is a high energy girl and loves to walk. She also loves to sunbathe in the grass. She's curious about everything. Her handler finds the Leave It command useful - Maria responds well to it, whether with something she's discovered on the floor or with a toy she has been playing with. She'll drop things when asked. This girl is full of love and everyone loves her in return.
