Shown here is Uggie learning his pivot heel in the beginning stage. The pivot heel is essential for teaching a dog to have a tight contact heel position. Once Uggie, or any dog rather, understands to place both paws onto the rubber bowl, we then would guide the dog to move their rear end around the bowl, keeping both paws on the bowl, and rewarding them as they pivot into the correct heel position. Uggie is definitely motivated and aims to please. He’s adoptable at Wanderers' Rest Humane Association

Check out our friend Uggie from Wanderers' Rest Humane Association. He is such a happy-go-lucky guy waiting for adoption. Here are some key points the shelter has to say about him:
• Uggie loves other dogs; he genuinely loves them and all he wants to do is play!
• Uggie is smart. He loves going to training classes with his main handler every Tuesday, the trainer at those classes has even said Uggie is genuinely a very happy dog.
• Uggie loves love; he will soak up as much attention as he can get from anybody he can.
• He loves walks, runs, hikes - you name it. As long as he can get out and explore, he is happy.
Does Uggie sound like a good addition to your life?

Check out Brute, one of the shelter dogs from the Lewis County Humane Society attending our class. He is full of character and eager to please. He is good with his basic obedience commands; however, you can catch him being an entertainer by rolling over like a happy-go-lucky fella. This good boy is estimated to be 3 years old and looking for his forever home.

Each class provides an opportunity for shelter dogs to showcase their personalities and potential. Each class also enables handlers to gain a deeper understanding of these dogs and their specific needs to facilitate successful adoption. Shown below are dogs waiting for adoption at Wanderers' Rest Humane Association and Lewis County Humane Society NY 501c3. Click the pictures to see the dogs name and shelter location.

Oh Ike, what can I say that I haven't said already? This boy is still waiting. Every week when I take him to training, he always impresses me. He is so eager to learn and does such an awesome job. Don't get me wrong, if he thinks he can get away with something, he's going to - he's just like a child. Ike would do best in an active home. He loves to go for walks, rides, training, and to even splash around in some water. We are not sure how he would be with another dog, so a meet and greet is a must, and no children and cats for this boy. Ike has been with us at the shelter for 10 months, that's way too long. If someone would just give him a chance, he would be the best boy ever. Or, if anyone is even willing to come to a training class with us to meet him and see him in action, putting his brain to work, you would be impressed. Please share in hopes we can find this boy a home.
