Sailor is an Australian Labradoodle and is 3 1/2 years old. He started training at Jackie's when he was 12 weeks old. He still comes to Jackie's and works with Rebecca to stay in shape and keep his "focus". He was a year old when he became certified with Dogs With A Purpose.

Sailor works with children that have special needs, students at Cary Academy and does visits at NC State.

Sailor works weekly at Creekside Elementary in Durham, and works biweekly at NC School of Math and Science, and Eno Point Assisted Living.

Sailor has 2 AKC Trick titles and loves to perform for anyone who needs a smile. He loves the beach and doing zooms in the sand.

Sophie And Zoe

Good To Know

From The Captain

Teaching your dog manner skills, basics commands and providing enough mental and physical exercise will prevent them from developing anxiety and other stress related behaviors such as barking, jumping, reactivity and aggression. An important part of the learning process is to set your dog up for success by managing their environment, training and making it easy for them to do well. This begins with understanding how your dog copes in certain situations, and managing their environment, Doing so at a young age will give your dog confidence and lessen the chance of them experiencing anxiety and discomfort in adulthood. Socialization does not mean your dog has to be physically touch by another dog or a person. Exposing your dog to different situations where they can observe will produce a confident dog.
