Calvin is doing a pretty good job adjusting to the new environment around him. Today we took our training sessions slow and focused completing good reps of the sit command. Calvin is beginning to build trust with his handler but is still very unsure about other strangers. Sometimes Calvin does try to go after a stranger walking by, and on one occasion, he tried to attack our trainer Jaylyn. Calvin was still able to successfully continue training after each of those situations and will keep improving his behaviors. Please stay tuned to our website as we will work on building more reliable obedience, trust, and confidence with Calvin in order to be comfortable with removing his muzzle for good!
