P.E.A.C.E. Dogs newest recruit, Sarge PVT, is working hard during Red Phase of Basic Canine Boot Camp: 5 mi run (when chasing birds we hit double time/working on that!) & overcoming fears of new terrain. Sarge is uncertain about a tunnel & bridge up ahead. Slowly & w/positive reinforcement, he braved through! Our release word “At Ease” Sarge & I take in the beauty of the river & ducks swimming along. If you need a workout partner, this guy is for you. Consider fostering for weekends or adopt this awesome Canine Cadet! PEACE ~

Some dog owners think it’s okay to leave their dogs out in the cold but finally, lawmakers are stepping in to teach them a lesson! Pennsylvania signed into law, last June, House Bill 1238, better known as Libre’s Law. The law provides protection for pets against cruelty, abuse, and neglect. Part...

1 hour Saturday. 1 hour today. Backseat of a Prius, treats, patience & love, Roxie (oops not Rosie) is knocking it out of the park with training. Imagine what she can do in a loving home?! Need a jogging partner? Roxie is your gal! DOGFITCT will provide FREE customized program for her & new owners, includes training, exercise, proper harness & leash. Opt To Adopt ROXIE! Call Wallingford Animal SHELTER 203-294-2180 ~ PEACE

09/06/2018

Beautiful, smart & a love bug! ROSIE has it all except a home. DOGFITCT met her first time today & I'm so blessed I did. Shelter life is extremely stressful for her, so, I improvised, on her terms of course. She found the back of my Prius (outside shelter loud industrial area) a comfort. I SLOWLY introduced myself and let her relax. We started with Basic Training-learning Yes/Good girl, our foundation. What the video doesn't show is her Focus skills & how she learned Some loose leash walking (will try to post my video stinks!) with patience & persistence dogs will succeed! Gus & I did hike earlier & he didn't disappoint. He's getting so great at the LEAVE IT command. We are weaning off treats! Special shout out to ACO Amanda & volunteers Vicki, Judy, Alex & Lizzy for all their hard work today. I'm in awe of their dedication. Opt to Adopt Rosie or Gus. PEACE!

"You want me to do what?" Dogs communicate through body language & Gus is letting me know he is uncomfortable: ears back, stiff body, stiff tail. On our hike today we encountered a fallen tree. To me the tree is a fun exercise tool, to Gus it was intimidating. Here is where basic commands came in so handy! I sat on tree& slowly introduced him to it using the "Yes/Good boy" command along with "find it" to slowly get under the tree! He did it! His body languages told me he was ready, otherwise we would have tried another day! Need an awesome hiking partner? Opt to Adopt Gus! DOGFITCT is so confident with training this boy will succeed in a good home we will train Gus/new home for FREE. ~PEACE

01/06/2018

Where do I start? The obvious: Gus is awesome. He loves to hike & eat healthy. Not obvious? What we encountered on Hike. His focus was great as joggers, bicyclists, walkers & a rabbit crossed our NARROW path. For safety we always have "escape" route. We used tree to walk around as two people walked by us. Gus:"sit, down, up, down" (people walked by he didn't pay heed). We accomplished a safe pass, practiced his commands AND did some push ups! DOGFITCT: Training, Exercise & FUN! Opt to Adopt - GUS! ~ PEACE

I'm so excited for him! Such a good boy!

They say that one of the most meaningful ways to honor your pet’s memory is to save the life of a pet in a shelter.

Simmons left the shelter today, looking quite dapper we might add. His new family lost their beloved boy, Jake this week. They visited the shelter for some emotional therapy as they were quite depressed and felt a tremendous hole in their hearts.

They were immediately drawn to Simmons. It was a perfect match. His Mom showed me Jake’s picture and told me Simmons and Jake shared the same eyes. We had chills. It was absolutely undeniable that everything fell into place exactly as it needed to.

As hard as it is to let go of our dearest friends, how incredible is it to honor them in such a phenomenal way.

We love you Simmons. ❤️
