Another smooth day for Jasper. He isn't perfect but he is trying hard. Working with him is interesting because like many dogs he doesn't make a lot of eye contact when you work with him. He enjoys praise and is responsive to corrections, though sometimes he needs more correction than others because he gets distracted. But he doesn't look at you a lot and that's okay. His handler needs to know that so long as Jasper is listening to them then they have his focus. Insisting on constant eye contact won't work with him. But if you have his ears you have his attention and he is actually paying attention to you even if he isn't looking at you all the time.
Still working on him sitting when he needs to and laying down when he needs to. He really prefers to lay down but he is getting better slowly.
Tomorrow is a very busy day for me with weekly lessons and so I'm afraid that Jasper is going to be a little bored. He will get lots of play time and time on his mat but likely his work day will be light. Probably good for him to get a little rest in since we are getting so close to removing his leash and seeing how responsive he is to his commands without a tether.
I will give a short update tomorrow but we won't be doing much with him. I don't do blogs on most Sundays so Monday will be his next big update.
