Toys ... gotta be the pool Favorite Food: training treats Favorite Walk: Nature walks at the training facility. Best Tricks: open doors (yes with a pull down door knob) Arrival Story: Well, just like Holli, we consider Toby a rescue. Toby's owner could not care for him. Couldn't handle his wild nature. We were asked to adopt him. At first we said no -- already had one sick animal that needed our attention. The owner sent us a picture of this little guy and we agreed to take a look see. We went to take that look see on May 2, 2008, and it was love at first sight. This little guy was loving and sweet. So, we packed up his stuff and took him home. Bio: Well the first couple of weeks Toby settled in. He loved everyone. He quickly grew from 38lbs to his current weight of 86lbs. It quickly became apparrent that his wild nature would require some structured obedience. ****** Had a bad experience with the trainer so we have found another one. Mom and Dad are better educated in training this time and know what to ask and what to expect. So Toby's first private lesson with his new trainer will be soon. The objective is still to be awarded the AKC Canine Good Citizen Award. Forums Motto: Tazmanian Devil (cartoon) I've Been On Dogster Since:
