Frightened of Floors!

Meet Jack tonight in an all-new episode of Dog Whisperer, 9P et/pt!

NAME: Jack
BREED: Labrador Retriever
AGE: 3 ½ Years

ABOUT THE DOG:
Black Labrador Jack has been with owner Jim Solis since he was a three month old pup. Because of Jack's great nose and excellent prey drive, Jim had him evaluated to be a Detection K-9, and Jack did very well. But in order for Jack to be enrolled into the program, he must get over his apprehension to slick and shiny floors. As a Detection K-9, Jack needs to be able to enter any type of building or structure without hesitation.

ABOUT THE OWNERS:
Jim Solis has been a fish and game warden for 23 years and a former US National Park Service backcountry Ranger. He also referees basketball games, competes in mountain bike triathlons, and is an instructor for Defensive Tactics and Firearms.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
Because the fish and game wardens don't have home offices, the Dog Whisperer crew had to tape the session at the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The station's firemen stood by quietly as Cesar and Jack made use of the shiny linoleum floors.

Hello, my name is lablover and i have a black lab named Max that has that same fear. He has had this fear since he was little and i have tried a few things i have learned on dog whisperer, but he still is very eary of going on wood floors. He does however walk on vinyl,but slowly. He is a very lovable dog and does everything else like a lab should but has never gotten over this fear. I Love the Dog Whisperer have all his books but still can't find an answer to that....... Thanks
