Gaining Confidence

This week has been quite an adventure with Jarrod.  He has become very energetic and outgoing at first thing in the morning.  He likes to get in a little run during the morning potty break.  He loves walking the fence line in the big yard at a very brisk pace just checking things out. 

Jarrod is doing really well learning his basic commands and is gaining confidence.  Jarrod now walks around the dorm with his tail out and is starting to approach people to get attention!  He’s not a fan of thunderstorms but his inmate trainer hopes that as Jarrod’s confidence grows the storms will not bother him.  Over the week Jarrod has shown a lot of improvement with the bed, jump, and off commands.  He’s even started learning paws up and visit!  His inmate trainer knows that Jarrod will have all of his commands down in no time.
