Labrador Retriever - Large - Young - Male - Dog - Buster
Description
Buster is a Death Row Dog,he is being trained in a prison dog program at the GRCC. This is a 3 month training program. The dogs are crate trained, house broken, taught basic obedience and leash trained. These dogs are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, as well as temperament tested to know what situation the dog will fit most easily into. This dog will be given a Canine Good Citizen test prior to graduation. Update on Buster....He is doing great. The fear is becoming a thing of the past. High traffic areas are still a bit scary, but for the most part, he is a happy dog. He has found training to be fun, and he does it at his own pokey pace...no rushing around for this guy. His motto would be stop and smell the flowers. A remarkable change in his outlook. Buster did not have the best beginnings. Found huddled next to an air conditioner unit and terrified as a puppy, it molded his idea of people. Luckily for Buster he has a very patient set of trainers. He was very wary at first, but as time is progressing he is coming out of his scared dog shell and becoming more sociable. He loves attention, but does not beg for it. He came into class this week wagging his tail and ready to show what he knew. His training will be a lot of confidence building and bonding, but he has come so far so quickly, I don't foresee any problems with this guy. He loves to play with the other dogs. He would make a great family dog. He wants to love you, just has to know you will love him back and not hurt him. The scars run deep because they happened as a pup, but he is proving the past is in the past and stepping up and trying a new way of doing things. He is a sweet boy. 2yrs,65lbs, and 21 inches at the shoulder.
