Welcome Clio to the Ready, Pup, Go! family!
Clio is a 7-month-old shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger comeback story. She was found abandoned as a young puppy with serious injuries. She spent time at a shelter in Yakima Valley before Homeward Pet Adoption Center helped her find her person. Her injuries have healed, and today she's a curious, sweet, and smart girl who is ready to take on the world.
Clio and her guardian are working on:
- Potty training
- Loose leash walking
- Gentle mouth manners
- Focus and engagement
- Everyday manners
- The long-term dream: hiking and jogging adventures together!
In just a few sessions, Clio has already:
- Started walking into her crate on her own and relaxing there with a chew
- Learned that "yes" means a treat is coming
- Mastered the Up-Down and Ping Pong pattern games, which help her stay calm and focused
- Started building her recall and a "leave it" cue
- Earned lots of celebrations for peeing outside on leash 🎉
Every pup learns at their own pace, and Clio is proving that a rough start doesn't define a dog's future. We're so proud of her, and we can't wait to share her journey!
