TRIPLE CROWN!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness.. Turbo has been accepted into the (now 16 week!) Triple Crown Dog Academy's Canine Training and Behavior Specialist Program!!!!! That means that Turbo will be the training dog of one of the professional dog trainer students who are enrolled in the program. This is an AMAZING opportunity for Turbo, and so we are going to say goodbye to him for now at his foster home. He is STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!!!-- and his new family will have the benefit of all of that amazing Triple Crown Training. We will post updates as we have them.

Turbo made amazing progress at our home. He is smart, loving, and friendly. We know he is going to SOAR at TC.

Meet & Greet

Turbo did really well at the last Meet & Greet and we plan to have him at the Great Hills Trail PETCO again this Sunday from 1-4 PM.

We are so happy that he is starting to get the attention he deserves! He is a wonderful dog and is going to be a super pet for some lucky family.

New Experiences

This week Turbo went to Taurus Training for for Doggy Playday for the first time! They report that he did very well. Turbo loves other dogs and people too. He seems a bit shy sometimes-- and even kind of silly and goofy!-- but he really enjoys life here in foster care and I am certain that once he finds his Forever Home he will have plenty of time and attention to settle in.

Turbo is:
  • Housebroken
  • Crate Trained
  • Working on leash training (he still pulls at the leash)
  • Great with dogs
  • Great with kids
  • OK with cats (he is curious and follows our cats who stand up to him... not sure if he would chase cats who run)
  • Friendly
  • Affectionate
  • Healthy
  • Past the "chewing stage"
  • SMART!
We would like to work on some more obedience training in the coming weeks, not because he is hard to live with (he isn't), but we think he would enjoy having those kinds of "jobs" to do.

Be sure to check out his photo album for more new photos!
