Jackson Goes to Boot Camp -Part XX

In these past few days, it has become very obvious that the "socialization" of Jackson is going to be the most challenging and time consuming part of his training.

When all else fails read the manual! So, today I referred to the new training manuals which I purchased recently. Just judging from the pages devoted to this subject (9) as compared to the pages devoted to heeling (2), one can come the conclusion stated in the first paragraph.

In light of the above, Jackson gets a B+ for today's mile+ around the neighborhood. I had to correct him several times, but he is a smart dog who I know really wants to please deep down in his puppy heart, so he will improve with practice, practice, practice.

Hell John, we both know some adults that have been working on their socialization skills for much longer than Jackson has graced your presence and they still can't get it right!!!
