Jackson has done very well with his training. He is a very smart dog, although he is a bit on the stubborn side. He gets easily excited, but is doing much better with his commands through consistency. He has been learning to hang out on "place" in the house as well as heel, sit, down, stay, come, and also wait at the door. In the beginning, we used a long line with teaching him to heel by our side. As he became more consistent, we were able to let him drag the line behind him, then eventually, move to a six foot leash, and now he obeys his commands with no leash attached. He can still get distracted, but now it is much easier to regain his attention. He is much easier to control now.
