- Jill Biden could not control the commander
In one such incident, First Lady Jill Biden could not control the young dog when it attacked a Secret Service member, CNN reported, citing a Secret Service email obtained through Freedo.
Speaking to CNN, Jill Biden’s communications director described the busy White House as a unique but “often stressful environment” for “family pets.”

Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre said, ‘The First Family is working on ways to make the situation better for everyone. He mentioned, “Determining a separate place for the commander to run and exercise and giving him more training.”
The commander was briefly sent back to the Biden family home in Delaware in 2021, after at least one bite, and underwent additional training. He was later sent to live with family friends. By the way, the Biden couple also have a cat – a short haired tabby named Willow.
