Jesse is a graduate of our dog training program at Northeastern New Mexico Correctional Facility. Her handler writes:
"Jesse is a 1-year-old Dutchy/Belgian shepherd mix. She is still a puppy who loves to play with all dogs and her people all day if you let her. I say her people, because once she bonds and you gain her full trust, she won't leave your side. When she is playing with people, she's very gentle, and she doesn't bite or bark.
"In fact, Jesse hardly ever barks, even when she's outside. She doesn't jump on people except for when she is playing or when she gets excited to see the one person she fully bonds with, if you're gone for a while.
"Jesse is easy to walk on the leash. She pulls just a little - not enough to drag you around. If you stop, she will, too. She is fully housetrained, meaning she won't go inside unless she is sick; even with that, she'll hold it for as long as possible. She doesn't chew things up.
"She is crate trained, but she will need a crate with a large opening. She is place mat trained, and she knows sit, down, stay, and her recall. The other tricks she knows are crawl, roll over, mine and yours, give it, shake, high five, and fetch. She loves fetch. She sits pretty, but she stands on her back legs and wraps her front paws around your forearm. She will even take treats from your lips very gently.
"Whoever adopts her needs to have a big yard for her to run around in. To be honest, if I could keep her for myself for the rest of my time and take her with me when I go home, I would. She also loves to play in the water and snow. She doesn't like to get a bath, but she loves to be toweled off.
When she has bad dreams, she has this quiet little warble. Loud noises and sudden, fast movements freak her out. I talk to her like she was a little girl, and she does understand me, too. She knows that dog call is time to use the bathroom. Rec call, she knows it's training/playtime, and she knows, "Do you want to go play?" means it's playtime.
