Professor's First Lessons

Prof has been learning a lot in the past few days! His training is focusing on all the skills he needs to be a great family pet. Prof is a smart boy but has trouble being patient. He is quickly learning that barking and jumping up doesn't get him what he wants! The video below shows some of the skills Prof has been working on so far!


Prof has learned a hand touch (touch my hand with his nose). This is a great cue for moving him around, since he can't hear you call him to come! Prof has also learned a spin to the right! Since he spends so much time circling to the left, it will be important for his new family to help him with a few right spins each day to help keep his muscle development balanced better. Prof is working on walking nicely on a leash and yielding to collar pressure instead of pulling against it, since you might have to guide him by his collar once in awhile.  Sit is HARD for an active puppy! He wants to be moving!! But he will get there. Pretty good for 3 days work huh?
