Learning the Ropes

Tucker has really opened up this week and has started playing with toys. So far squeaky toys are his favorite. He shows no signs of toy aggression, and is happy to drop a toy when his trainer tells him “give”. He is also really sweet and gentle with the other dogs. Even when they are crowding him during play time or stepping around him while he’s napping, he just gives them the gentlest reminders to watch his space.

He loves to run around when he gets excited and Tucker loves to nap. So far with his training he knows “sit” and “down” very well. He knows the words “bed” and “kennel”, but is still working on responding to them right away. Great progress for only his second week!
