Hello! We rescued Frankie in August after he had been in the shelter for two months. He is about 2 and is 62% American Staffy and 36% pitbull. He’s a tank and such a sweetie. We did the 6 week private training classes and he learns so fast. He’s very food motivated. I need to be more consistent on continuing training. My first goal is having him stay in “place”. He will place, but then follows me. He hates being more than 2” away from me at all times. Oh…we also have Winston, who is my daughter’s dog. His dna showed he is 12 breeds so a true mutt. Haha. He’s smaller and not a powerhouse like, Frank, so I’ve focused my training on Frankie.

Rex is 9! He is a rescue that I adopted when he was 2, and shortly after I foster failed a 5 year old hound mix, Trip. I recently did an Embark DNA test, and Rex is pitbull/australian shepherd/ german sheperd mix (?). We all had some training, and both dogs passed their CGCs and became my walking companions and we kept training to a much reduced degree. Lots of bad habits crept in. Last year, Trip passed away, and we both really miss him. Rex, however, loves treats, bonding, pets, and training. At times, I have thought Rex and I would like another dog buddy, but he also seems to enjoy his much increased dedicated attention. So, we are back in training, and he loves it! He is in Urban Manners, trying to learn not to lunge at new humans who might pet him! We love it!

Rex is faster and quicker than I am with this! Rex loves cheese, bacon, chicken, fish, and will try his hardest to learn how to get the food the fastest. He does not love snow, so we are doing a lot of indoor training while being snowed in! He is so good!
