Jessie - Adopted!

Jessie was selected by founderer, Lesley Irwin, from Animal House Shelter, a no-kill shelter, in Huntley to go through Sit Means Sit Dog Training’s 3 week board and train program, compliments of Sit Means Sit Chicago. Lesley and her shelter have been raising Jessie for the past 3 years, Jessie’s whole life. Lesley knows that Jessie is a sweet dog and that with obedience training Jessie would have a better shot at finding a forever home.

During Jessie’s 3 week stay with Sit Means Sit Dog Training, Jessie learned “off-leash” training and the following commands “Sit”, “Down”, “Come”, “Place”, “Heel”, “Quiet”, “Off”, “Kennel”, “Spread Em” and a release command, “Ok, Take a Break”. Most importantly, Jessie was heavily socialized with other dogs.

Sit Means Sit started by introducing one well socialized dog to Jessie and her only expectation was to stay in a Sit while the dog came up to say hello. This was teaching Jessie self control and to trust her owner. Once Jessie graduated from this task, she was allowed to roam on a leash with other dogs. Then the handlers dropped the leash and let her roam with another dog in a small space and eventually they got rid of the leash and Jessie was free to roam the yard with lots of other dogs and play. Jessie loves her new freedom and confidence and wants to continue her training in a forever home.

Sit Means Sit dog training is offering Jessie’s new owners free lifetime group dog training classes in Chicago. Jessie has obedience training mastered, she’s potty trained and she’s a big couch potato. She’s always happy to see a new dog or her owner come home but don’t let her excitement at a greeting fool you. She is quite the sleepy head who loves to snuggle.

Training Jessie has been a heart warming and touching experience. She made an enormous amount of progress with her eagerness to learn. She cuddled and loved her trainers every chance she had and nobody loves to be called a “good girl” more than Jessie. If you would like to adopt this trained couch potato pit bull then please call Animal House Shelter immediately, 847-961-5541. She would like to open presents for Christmas with her forever home this year.

Jessie likes to snuggle, run off leash in a field, tug, chew on twigs, chase carrots, go on runs, sleeping under the covers or on her doggie bed and eating beef basted doggie cookies.

Animal House Shelter has over 200 adoptable dogs and cats who are also looking for a home. There is always a need for foster homes and forever homes.
