Dog Works Training Centers: Camp Works Dog: Milo

May 15, 2011

Camp Works Dog: MILO

Client’s Name: Amy and Tim E.

Dogs Name: “MILO”

City: Windsor, CO

Breed: Jack Russell Terrier

Likes: people watching

Pet-Peeves: being told what to do

Favorite Toy: ball

Favorite Treat: puperoni

Favorite Walk: Loves going to the people park and watching the kids play

Best Trick: Camp Counselor “Qyain” says even though I’m an old dog its not too late for me to learn a few tricks.

Arrival Story: I came to Denver Dog Works to learn how to be obedient, not jump and walk nicely on my leash.  I recently lost my loved one and moved in with her niece.  It’s been a difficult transition for me and they thought coming to Denver Dog Works would be good for me.  So far, I’m having lots of fun teaching the puppies and I’m getting used to walking nicely on leash and listening to commands.

Bio: I am 8 years old.  I was “loved” by my mom very much and was placed on a pedestal and could basically do as I pleased.  It was a dog’s life for sure.  In my new home, there’s more people and other pets so I must follow different rules.  Michele, my trainer, is making sure I’m having a good time and learning the basics.

The Adventures of Alaric

May 3, 2011

It’s been a great while since I reported about Alaric. In my last blog regarding him I mentioned that his path had changed and he had been returned to Denver Dog Works.  He was placed 3 months later with a new person in need and she did not feel comfortable with the articles.  With her permission today I am pleased to announce that Alaric has graduated the service dog program at Denver Dog Works and is know a Certified Psychiatric Service Dog.

Alaric visits often and participates in group classes so his handler can become more comfortable with his commands.  He is doing very well.  If you recall, Alaric was a bit fearful of other dogs – NO MORE!  He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and ignores them completely when his vest is on.

We are so proud of Alaric and know that he will live out his days helping his handler whom he loves so very much.
