Quite The Charmer

Murphy’s inmate trainer says that Murphy is a great dog!  He’s quite the charmer when he feels he can get around his commands.  He’ll eventually follow through after realizing his distraction techniques didn’t work.  Murphy is a very affectionate boy, but he doesn’t like to be smothered.  He responds very well to positive praises.  He does a really good job making eye contact when you request “watch me”.  When he goes out to potty his preface is privacy.  He’s a bit competitive with the other dogs, but has a lazy streak that he calls retirement.   He would rather sleep with his kennel uncovered so he can see out if he wakes up.  

When using commands Murphy responds to No vs Leave It.  He’s doing great with Kennel, Heel, Sit, Down and Jump.  His inmate trainer says that Murphy is never in a hurry for anything.  He just takes life as it comes and seems to enjoy every step along the way.
