Cooper - The Man

Cooper is doing really well with his basic commands!  His inmate trainer sees much improvement with Cooper’s “down” and “heel” commands.  They also worked on the stairs this week.  At first Cooper didn’t know what to think, but with more repetitions he was showing improvement.  His inmate trainer believes that Cooper will have it down to a science in a few days!  He is also doing really well with the “bed” and “jump” commands.  

Cooper loves to play and can get a little mouthy while playing.  He doesn’t bite down and his inmate trainer is working to correct this behavior.  Cooper can be a little shy when in a large crowd of people.  He doesn’t mind grooming time and seems to love to play in the bath water!  

Next week Cooper’s secondary inmate trainer will be taking a more active role in the training progress.  This will help Cooper to understand that it’s okay to take direction from someone new and it will also help the secondary trainer build on his training skills.
