It has been a big couple of days for our friend Jersey. We have fully introduced him to his remote collar and have started using it for his obedience. He still needs a leash at the moment but he is on track for off-leash soon. We need to make sure his recall is as solid as possible, with little-to-no bolting tendencies before we let him work with no fences and no leashes. In the yard without a leash he is so-so. His Heel is still fairly sloppy when we don't use a leash but he is getting better. He threw a bit of a tantrum about Down earlier today but after some play time and a nap he did it perfectly multiple times in a row.
He gets very excited when he gets the answer right and sometimes this leads to him being a bit over zealous and silly so we try very hard to praise him calmly to help him keep his composure and not celebrate too much.
He has settled in nicely now and enjoys playing with Ace, the pitbull. He has been very calm and gentle around the baby, and all in all, a polite house guest. Jersey is a fun dog. I am pleased with his progress so far and looking forward to letting him enjoy some time off the leash soon.
