This is Jake from Midwest Lab Rescue. He was given up for poor behavior and lack of training. Mike, an assistant trainer with Suburban K-9 is working on his off leash heel in this video.
Daisy’s story starts similiar to the story of many other stray dogs. She was wandering around alone and happened to stumble across some people so she stopped to say hi. The people happened to be Robert and Jonelle Gardiner. They immediately liked the dog but soon saw that she had a serious dog aggression issue. Luckily for Daisy, Robert and Jonelle know a thing or two about animals. They are expert horse trainers and owners of Landmark Farming Inc. They knew that they didn’t have the dog knowledge to take care of Daisy’s issues but they were determined to find someone who did. Their search led them to me and I offered to help out. Two weeks later Daisy is now a friendly balanced dog who loves to play with people and other dogs. This video shows her hanging out with the pack and saying hi to Mike, an assistant trainer with Suburban K-9. Daisy is now up for adoption and will soon be leaving us for West Suburban Humane Society to continue that search.
This is Foster who needed a little help with socialization. This is one of his first times being social with new dogs, which was exciting for everyone at Bark Avenue because we love to see dogs come out of their shells and be happy!
Petunia is a one year old pit bull from West Suburban Humane Society. Petunia is deaf, so of course her training included some special challenges. She learned to respond to hand signals for sit, stay, down, come, good girl, and no. She finished her training at Bark Avenue Daycamp and has now gone back to the shelter in order to find a home. She is a sweetheart and can live with kids, dogs, and other animals. There is absolutely no aggression or fear in this dog, so she will make a great pet for some lucky person! Anyone interested in Petunia should contact West Suburban Humane Society at 630-960-9600.
