You can imagine how thrilled I am to let you know that Buddy, my foster friend has been adopted from the Animal Refuge League just yesterday! In the last week Buddy worked very hard to calmly sit when meeting people and socialize with other dogs in a more gently way. Buddy went with me to 2 of my daughters softball games where he met countless people and 3 other dogs. He also visited Cavallo Rossi Equestrian Center where I ride horses and met several dogs and people. In addition, Buddy spent an hour greeting the elderly residence in the Brentwood Nursing Home along side Annie, my Therapy dog, all which greatly reinforced his new behaviors!


Buddy is a wonderful example of how a dog that is over a year old with poor social skills can improve his behavior through Positive Reward Based Training along with ample exposure to the world we live in.
