Jackson Comes Home

We finally got Jackson back on Thursday evening. He is a changed dog! We are both so impressed with the training he received and how easily we were able to transfer the training into our home with all of our distractions. The kids can once again swing outside, play baseball, and dance to their hearts content without worry of the dog getting in their way. When people come to our door we no longer have to play blocking defense to avoid him getting through out legs and out into the street. He is such a good boy now!!

Our house is so much more peaceful. At night, when we are lying on the couch reading or watching TV and Jackson wants to play ball we are no longer held hostage by his incessant ball rolling, barking, pawing, jumping on the couch, etc... We simply play until we are tired of it, then "place" him in his bed. We push a button on his electronic collar and say the command and he follows it!! It is a miracle! In fact, he spent Saturday morning with us outside while we had the community garage sale going on. He didn't bark, didn't try to visit with any of our customers or try to run away down the street. It was almost eerie!

The company is called Sit Means Sit and we would recommend it to anyone that wants a well trained dog without the many hours/hassle it is to do it themselves. The "boot camp" came with a lifetime "guarantee" and as many continuation lessons that we need. It's not cheap, but since we plan to have Jackson for the long haul it was worth every dime (even if it does mean that our next tropical vacation is an extra year off now!)
