Yeah, Jack!!!!!!

I am so excited!!!! I tried some high value food (cooked ham) to entice Jack to eat out of my hand. He did it like a gentleman. I even encourages him to lick my fingers - he kindnof put one in his mouth, but no teeth factor to worry about at all.

I brought satin balls (a homemade high protein yummy dog treat) outside on our walk. He contined to take from me perfectly as we worked on come. Training will still be challenging as he will need high level food rewards, but balance with hai regular diet so as not to over feed him.

And, the excitement doesn't end there!!! I brought him in the kitchen with me and he explores a little before heading back to his safe zone. BUT he kept making little sneak peeks into and around the living room and toward the kitchen. He is coming out when he hears the commotion of me coming home from work. As soon as he sees it's me, he goes back.

Outside he still reacts very strongly to loud noises, including shouts and attention noises. He is still pulling a lot. There are some tricks for that so I will see if I can't make some progress on it this week.

Smile for Jack. He done good!!!
