Samson got his brain, today! (...Or, I finally got smart enough to figure which buttons to push.) We had a nice training session. Going slow with him has started to pay off. I really felt the need to push him because of time constraints, but have resisted the urge. I'm so glad I have. He is happy and much more focused. I am spending massive amounts of energy on a recall. (He is Jack Russell, through and through.) I've been using classical conditioning and targeting for recall behavior and word association. For the independent little cuss he is, I'm getting a pretty good response. Tomorrow, we are going to do our first leash work...We'll let you know. He seems very close to being 100% health wise. That is one hurdle I'm glad we jumped. I still believe he is adoptable. I have not seen anything close to a deal breaker where that is concerned.
