✨Archie✨
Where do I even begin with this sweet boy. Archie is a 1.5 year old Pit Mix from Aruba, and he has completely stolen my heart. When his family first brought him home he was an insecure, anxious, overwhelmed puppy with some strong fear based aggression causing him to have a bite history. He had no sense of how to confidently and safely live with a family.
During this 1 week I have spent with Archie in my home, I have been blown away at the resilience within his learning. He now knows how to hold “sit”, “down” and “place” inside and outside, with lots of human and dog traffic around him. Absolutely beautiful and reliable off leash recall and emergency “down” in front of triggers/traffic. He has even done a bit of off leash heeling!
Through these boundaries, consistency and clear communication, Archie has made *numerous* human and dog friends this week!!!!! I am so so thankful that Archie’s family found me, that I am able to be apart of Archie’s story. This is why I love what I do, because I can give dogs like Archie a fair shot at life.
Archie will always be a big part of the MMK9 family.
