Maverick working hard on place skills, recall, and diligence to his commands. Tired puppy, slumped on place towards the end of day!

Maverick antics on treadmill - see our TikTok video- and worked him on holding place even with lots of distractions, calling away from friends too. Not yours… meaning when it’s not yours it is not your treat or turn!

Mid day training for Maverick. Place, recall, get it game, some light e-collar cues on recall overlayed - down work and place on new things too! Worked on jumping up again and leash work walking too!

Maverick did very well today. Regulated play style with other pups (no humpy behavior) and limit barking. Worked engagement skills to handler, mine/yours, not jumping up and place command. Whew!!
