A Gentleman and a Scholar

Zippy started his session with a somewhat hurried introduction – he was pretty reluctant to be bathed and groomed on the first day, but that’s to be expected. So many new changes in so little time! Initially, Zippy wasn’t a fan of being touched or hand-fed, but after a day of settling in he realized that he was in a safe place and relaxed. Zippy is very fond of lounging around in his kennel and he gobbles down treats and kibble from the bowl, floor and hands with no reluctance.

Zippy is also a very good learner. It doesn’t take much repetition to show him a behavior that they would like him to learn. He has been very calm and reserved, and he has phenomenal manners. He walks in pace with his trainer and will even remain at pace without a leash! His trainer feels that this will be an easy-going and fun training session with this gentleman!
