Getting The Hang Of Training

Jarrod is showing great improvement!  He is walking on shiny floors and has started really responding to his name, the wait command as well as the kennel, sit, and down commands! He’s not a fan of loud noises, but this may change once he becomes adjusted to his new environment.  He’s doing really well walking on the leash and his trainer is working to help him feel confident in the presence of loud noises and strange objects. 

His inmate trainer has started teaching Jarrod the jump and off commands.  The jump command will be handy when getting Jarrod in and out of the car.  He is doing really well with the let’s go, kennel, and wait commands.  He’s a little slow responding to the release and here commands, but his inmate trainer is confident that Jarrod with get the hang of everything very soon!
