I called Dobbie’s adoptive parent, Gerald, to get an update. Dobbie’s name was changed to Duke. Everything is going fine. Duke has already learned to sit and lay down. He has trouble on the leash. Duke wants to pull and run. If he isn’t on the leash, he runs away. Duke is very scared of new people. His owner tells people not to pet him, but to wait till Duke comes to them. Once Duke calms down and walks over to people, he is A-OK. Gerald asked if I knew someone in the area that did dog training. I referred him to the HSBC for that referal information. Gerald is building a deluxe dog house for Duke when he is outside. He’s only had a few accidents since being adoptive, but Gerald took full responsibility … Saying that Duke was giving him signs that he needed to go out, but Gerald wasn’t listening. All in all, Gerald seems happy with Duke. Duke is an only child and Gerald wants to work with him more, especially so that he doesn’t run when off the leash.
