Aussie is currently with his puppy raiser. He is being taught a foundation of house manners and cues, for becoming a well-socialized part of the community.
All of the training and care provided to each dog would not be possible without the support of generous volunteers and donors.

Aussie is settling in nicely with us! He has been working on sit, down, loose leash walking, and some impulse control. He is smart and eager to learn, making him a lot of fun to work with. Aussie also has a sleepy, cuddly side that we are enjoying!

Aussie is almost 6 months – time flies when you’re growing and learning! He is sweet and smart and thinks training and learning new things is lots of fun. People and dogs can be a little distracting so we are slowly challenging him with training in busier environments. He spends lots of days at work with me and can usually be found fast asleep beside my desk.

Aussie is a sweet boy who enjoys cuddling and giving lots of kisses. He has recently learned “under” and now loves offering it anytime we sit down. He’s a very eager learner! While at home and at work, Aussie settles well for hours at a time. In new environments, and particularly in-jacket, we are now working on transitioning from training to settling. Some days this is easier than others!
