Charming Boy

Murphy is a truly charming boy with a little streak of stubbornness.  He seems to enjoy having his inmate trainer speak a command and he gets around to it when he’s ready.  He loves to play.  Not so much with other dogs as he does by himself.  If other dogs join in he removes himself from the gaggle and carries on alone appearing quite content.  

Murphy loves affection!  He’s not a big fan of being crowded and will avoid eye contact when he’s uncomfortable.  He responds really well to words like: good boy, thank you or please.  He loves praise, so feel free to heap it on to watch him shine.  

If he pulls while on the leash, he responds well to correction.  He loves to run and play when he’s in the mood for it and it’s a lot of fun to watch!  During training they’ve discovered that he responds to “no” as opposed to “leave it”. He’s a sweet boy with a sensitive side.
