Jackson Goes to Boot Camp -Part XXVII

I was just kidding! --for those who might have skipped the comments on my 1 April post (April Fools' Day.)

Today we went back to the houseless community where we practiced basic things like stay and heel. While on-leash, he automatically assumes the heel position. We still (and probably always will) come to a full stop at each crosswalk -and Jackson automatically sits and waits each time.

We spent a little playtime in an open lot having him fetch a tennis ball. Today he was only interested in going after the ball, picking it up, dropping it almost immediately, and then commence sniffing the ground all around for those wonderful scents that only a dog can detect and enjoy. But free time is free time and we didn't insist on his completing the fetch properly.

Jackson is just hanging out with me now in my office. He hasn't left the room for over an hour and a half.

C'mon Jackson...lets go out and play!
