Rosemary Update from her Triple Crown Trainer

"Here are her updates from her trainer! She is doing awesome!"-Triple Crown Coordinator.



Week 1 - This week I met the sweetest German Short-haired Pointer, Rosemary. She loves going on walks - taking in all the scents while her nose is glued to the ground! We chased some birds in the field on the first day I met her. Since then we have worked on name recognition (I call her Rosie to keep it short and simple) and done some basic clicker training. She isn't bothered at all by the loud sound, especially since it comes with food! So far Rosemary doesn't have any interest in playing with toys, but instead will walk up to me and wait until I pet her. Once the petting starts, she doesn't want it to stop! I can't wait to see how she responds to more of the training over the next few weeks.

Week 2 - This week Rosemary has made so much progress! She now knows her nickname (Rosie), and walks on a loose leash especially if she knows she will be rewarded with treats! She also learned to sit on command this week, which she does eagerly. Another thing we have worked on is place, where she stays on a dog bed until she gets the free command. Rosie loves the bed and makes sure that she can keep an eye on me at all times. She is such a sweet dog and a quick learner!

Thanks to Triple Crown for taking our Rosemary into their program. I'm looking forward to future "Rosie" updates!
