Jett's Training Day

Jett's been getting an education.

As part of being a good canine, he's learning all the basic commands: come, sit, down, place, heel and others.

Today was his first large group lesson.

Kind of intimidating with about 20 dogs in attendance, but he fit right in and did real well and paid attention throughout.

He held his place even when other dogs were deliberately walked close by, and remained in a heel when his turn to take a circle around the other dogs came. You could see the wheels turning as he responded to stimuli from all the dogs, owners, and our commands.

After the lesson, some of the dogs left and then there was free play time. He really had a blast and made some new friends. As part of the lesson, he also responded well to a recall while playing in the pack.

Good puppy and good times indeed.

Yes indeed. He met Saint Bernards, pit bulls, shepherds and multiple labs and did just great with all of them.
