Jackson Goes to Boot Camp -Part XXIV

We heeled for 1.3 miles today, some of it on new streets. Before going out and after returning, we (Jackson, Lucy, & I) had little treat sessions in their domain. During the walk, Jackson sat every time at halts, and only broke once when he spotted some children nearby. He stayed perfectly when I asked him to. I think he deserves an "A" today!

The treat sessions were so gratifying: Both Lucy and Jackson sat while I alternately gave each a treat. No hogging. No scrambling. Lucy amazes me. She is such a lady. Jackson, on the other hand -whom I described earlier as a rascal- has actually become a quasi gentleman. These are two great canines and I am happy to be part of their lives.
