Michael LaRosa, a spokesperson for First Lady Jill Biden, said Major "
will be getting extra training to help him adjust to his life in the White House
."
The training should last a few weeks, he said.
Acclimatization to the US presidential residence was not easy for the young and spirited German Shepherd, adopted from a refuge by the Biden.
In March, he was briefly returned to the family home in the northeastern state of Delaware, after at least one incident involving a bite in the White House. President Biden had told ABC News that his four-legged companion had simply adopted an overly protective attitude in his new, always crowded environment. Major had already received training to correct the situation by then, apparently insufficient.
