Rockin' The Stairs

Jarrod is doing excellent this week!  He has shown great improvement with his basic commands!  He will now sit and down by himself!  He knows the wait command really well and at short distances he knows his here command!  By next week his inmate trainer believes Jarrod will have stay and heel down pat! 

This week Jarrod learned how to go up and down stairs!  His inmate trainer says that it was truly amazing how well Jarrod learned to walk on them and seemed to enjoy them!  In fact,  Jarrod continued doing the stairs until he wore his trainer out! 

Jarrod enjoys running during his early morning potty break.  His inmate trainer says that this is a major accomplishment compared to the dog that came in so unsure of so many people and loud noises.  His inmate trainer believes that once Jarrod is out of the prison environment he will completely come out of his shell. 

Jarrod loves to share the big day beds with other dogs as long as he has plenty of room to stretch out and sleep.  (can’t blame him there!)
