A New Best Friend

Belle’s inmate trainer says that it’s been a fun week!  They have been playing with toys and teaching her how to release the toy when requested.  He says that she’s been doing well with this just like she does with everything else.   They have been working on fine tuning her response to all her commands as well as building on distance and duration.  

Her biggest challenge this week has been exiting her kennel in a calm manner.  She’s been so excited that she just can’t wait to come out and see what’s happening.   Her inmate trainer has her go back in and practice exiting with lady like grace.  She’s getting it figured out, but tried to explain to her inmate trainer that she likes a world filled with enthusiasm better than all that graceful stuff.
