Dumpling
|
I wanted to write to you and let you know how well Dumpling is settling in. She has been a doll and everyone who meets her just falls in love with her. On the trail she's very friendly and goes up to people and dogs alike for meet & greet. The other day she had my friend & I laughing so hard. She took off running after her dog and ran across the half-frozen creek, falling in, picking herself up, continuing on her merry way! It's as if she's been part of our little group forever.
Fondly,
Judy

Parker
|
Thought you’d like a little update on Parker, who is really settling in and seems very happy. He is getting to know the rules of the house and his neighborhood, and has many dogs to play with, especially lots of labs.
His demeanor is every bit as great as you first indicated, and he is responding to training for any little bad habits really well. He is getting better on the leash and we have come to the conclusion he may have been a hunting dog in Kansas. He has a habit of taking three steps, then sniffing the ground for the next three steps, and also his leanness and energy make us think he may have been a hunter. A good friend of mine got a retired hunting lab years ago, and have to say that was one of the best dogs I ever knew, so that is all positive.
Thanks again for taking such great care of him and agree that he is an exceptional dog and feel lucky to have him.
Best, Susan

Victor
|
Victor is back home after spending the last 4 weeks in training boot camp. This guy is now a totally changed dog. He is very well behaved, obedient, knows his commands and we’re able to handle him at 100lbs when on lease. We are trained now too! A big part of this is us to be trained. Before he was a good dog and had a good foundational behavior but not at all trained and very difficult to handle since he was so big. We had him 10 days and realized we needed a solution or we would not be able to keep him as is. Hence we opted for the train and board program and the full 4 weeks instead of 2 weeks. The cost was not cheap but so far well worth it. We’ll work a little each morning and more at length in the evening on continued training in the house and outside on lease and off for the next few months. We’ll also be doing some group training classes with him each week as the dog training place – Colorado Dog Academy is only around the corner from our house. My goal is to be able to take him fly fishing with me to the Bighorn in early May, and do go hiking and backpacking. Also we plan to do the rescue walk in mid-May.
So now we settle in to a routine…
