Jack has been very hesitant about giving Keeper a treat because he doesn't like his hand near her mouth. But as you can see from the picture he is now giving her treats and not just dropping them on the floor for her.
Today we practiced handling her in public more with Jeremy observing. Have I mentioned how wonderful Jeremy is?? This man is amazing and SO patient. Not many men would be able to teach in a large room filled with eight dogs (plus many puppies in adjoining rooms making lots of noise), 13 kids (10 with autism) and as much chaos as you can imagine that would bring!!!!
And better still - he trained Brentwood Police Department's Police Dog! He was contacted by them 5 years ago to come and train their police dog after rave reviews from the Antioch PD. He trained their dogs also.
The weather: No snow yet but they are calling for a few inches tonight and tomorrow. We are hoping not because we are suppose to track tomorrow again. We certainly don't need practice tracking in the snow! Although some other dogs might. We have classmates from all over the country: Sarge will be going to Texas, Brock and Donut to Illinois, Rosie to Arkansas, Jasmine to Virginia, Kodiak to West Virginia, Popeye to Iowa; and of course Keeper to California!
Tomorrow will be our last day of training. Thursday morning is the testing and the afternoon is the graduations and paperwork. More tomorrow . . .

Wow! Good for Jack! I love seeing how their (Jack & Keeper) relationship is progressing...it's so cool to see the interaction between the both of them! I passed this blog onto some other people (Speech) and they absolutely love the updates! YEA Jack!!!
