| UPDATE 3/18/10 - Wiley is doing fantastic. He has become very comfortable in our home and is fitting right in. He is very smart and very-well trained. I have worked with him on basic commands, which he had downpat. He needed a little work on holding the command until I released him, but he is starting to understand that is what I want him to do.
He has impeccable leash manners. Everyone in our family is able to walk him on a very loose leash, and even if he sees another dog, he still remains calm, but alert. I have him automatically sitting every time I stop when we are walking; he is such a quick learner. We will be staring obedience training this Sunday. Wiley met the trainer (Pack of Paws in Strubridge), and she agrees we can skip the first two basic obedience classes and go right into "Perfect Family Dog" class. Wiley does show some separation anxiety when he is placed in the crate. We will have to be very patient and work with him to modify his behavior. I think eventually he will get it. He is a very impressive and handsome dog. People take notice of him everywhere he goes. He has adopted my old dog's bed and likes to take it with him from room to room so he can lie down in it. He also has started to get vocal with us to tell us things that he wants (eat, go for a walk, etc.). If you say what he wants, he has this great little jump and twist that he does. He also does that every time he sees my wife (so do I, but I cannot jump so high). It looks like he wants to join our pack. We are glad! 3/8/10 - I was adopted today! 2/22/10 - Hi! I'm Wiley! I'm a 2.5 year old, brindle, boy.... I arrived with my foster family a few days ago, and am doing very well! Foster mom and dad say I'm a true Gentleman...they also tell me I'm "handsome" alot, and that makes me wiggle and wag my nub! I pose well for pictures, and am very well trained and smart! I lived with another family for a long time before coming here, and my last mom had to work very long shifts, and I was left in my crate or tied out alot...my mom knew this was not good for me, and although she, and my family loved me VERY much, she knew I deserved better,,, so here I am, looking for my new forever home! I know lots of commands, like sit, stay, come, down (lie down), shake (with both paws), crate, leave it, no, and my favorite "good boy"! I even know some hand signals. I love car rides, and to go for walks, foster dad is so proud of me, because i do not pull on my leash at all, in fact, the littlest person who lives in my foster home, who foster mom says is 4, can even walk me! I have some food allergies, and eat dog food made out of chicken and rice. I get along just fine with cats, dogs, and little people! I love to give kisses, and even though i really want to, i don't jump on people, my last mom taught me that is not polite... Foster mom says i'm special because I have a flash of white on my chest that has a brown spot in it shaped just like a heart...I say it's because I have so much love to give...:) I have 2 micro chips!! I'd love to live in a forever home where I would not be left home alone alot, a stay at home mom would make me very happy, I am crate trained, I love to run, play and bounce. I would like an active home, and maybe a job to do...foster mom thinks I could learn how to get the mail! I don't know what that means, but i bet I could do it!!! I love kids, and playing with other dogs! Foster mom says my forever home should have a rubber room, because when my foster dog sister and I get playing we bounce and go crazy!! I'm neutered already, and up to date on my shots... foster mom in excited because it's supposed to snow and she wants to see if I like it as much as foster sister dog does! Please check me out! I'm a lover, and a real handsome gentleman...just ask foster mom. |
