A Break From the Day to Day

Mack loves going to class more than anything.  This past weekend, Charlotte picked him up, put him in the car, and drove him to Canine PhD.  She said he was snoring as they drove down the highway.  It was probably such a relief for him to be away from the noise and chaos of the shelter.  He was able to just relax and feel safe.

 

 



 Mack, of course, did wonderfully in class, and we had all sorts of strange things happen on our walk around town.  There was a man drinking beer at 9:30 am, walking a dog that was very exuberant, and coming up to people in class.  Later, he would let the same dog offleash, even though the dog clearly had not been taught a working recall command.  Mack did not seem to mind one bit and just ignored the situation.

 

In the above photo, you can see Mack pulling towards a bush to mark it.  We are working on not letting him do that on our training walks, and he seems to slowly be getting better.  Note that he is wearing his calming thunder shirt to make the experience even more pleasurable for him.  He knows that when he puts it on good things are about to happen!

 

We are really hoping we can find a foster home for Mack.  We have been posting signs on his cage and talking to people about him.  You can help us too!  Please tell your friend's about Mack and let them know he is available for fostering.  We provide the food, medication, doctor's appointments, training advice, and you provide the home, love, and attention! lmckelvey@pawsatlanta.org
