Attention Hound

Groucho is adjusting nicely to his new routine.  Dog runs, training, treats, and relaxation all are becoming quite the norm these days.   Groucho’s inmate trainer says that he thinks that Groucho is the friendliest dog he’s ever had.  He loves everyone and loves to be petted and shown attention.  The attention seems to be a real motivation for him!  He loves to investigate anything or anyone new.  His inmate trainer says it so cute to see Groucho’s tail going 90 mph with happiness.  He greets everyone with a happy, “Hi, I’m Groucho and we should be friends”! 

Groucho’s trainer says that Groucho loves to run!  He’s the first one off the leash and the last one in.   His trainer says that Groucho has got to be one of the smartest dogs he’s ever met.  He’s not very motived by treats, but will take a pat on the head or an ear scratch for proper payment for a job well done. 

This week Groucho and his team worked on: stay, bed, heel, wait and sit.  It’s only week two and he’s doing great with all commands!  His trainer plans to start him on some extras soon; kiss and visit.   Tune back in next week to see how training progresses!
