Week 4
“Nash has learned his sit and paw commands, and his recall is improving each day.” This pup is still working on his “watch me” skills, but since he hasn’t been feeling too well lately, his handlers are just keeping him on light exercise, and are going slow with his training. Despite his humble beginnings, Nash loves the people he sees each day. “He gets so excited, sits immediately, and his little stub of a tail wags 100 miles an hour until the person pets him. He would make the perfect pet for anybody."

Week 3
Now that Nash is feeling a little better, we're starting to see his personality shine through. In tru Pit Bull fashion, he adores his people, is a bit on the stubborn side and will do anything to please. Nash’s handlers concentrated on his basic commands and loose leash walking this week. “He’s a puller, so we work with him on his walking every day.” Nash has a couple of exercises he goes through to help him in this area, and we’re sure he’ll understand the drill in no time. “Nash is very smart, but can be hard-headed at times. One thing we’ve noticed about him, though, is that he’ll do anything for a treat,” You’re going to be fine, little boy!

Weeks 1 & 2
After just a short time with their pup, Nash’s handlers report that “he is adjusting pretty well in his new home. He has no problem being in his crate or being alone, and he has done very well with being around the other dogs.” His handlers also report that Nash is “definitely a fast learner, because with a treat in hand, he already knows his sit and paw commands. He has only been here for a few days and is already showing signs of improvement.” Nash already got to chase one of his handlers in the doggie yard. “He was pretty fast too.” Of course, this pup loves the attention he’s getting from his cellies. “He’ll place his head on your leg or arm to let you know he wants petted. He is like a big teddy bear.” Welcome to the program, Nash! We’re looking forward to reading about your adventures, and know that your handlers will help guide you through your journey!

UPDATE
1-22-12
It's finally Nash's turn to head into the jail for training. Actually, more for a spotlight moment than training. Nash is already incredibly well mannered, has a very sweet disposition and is more than ready for a home of his very own. He could definitely use some help from the HOPE Program when it comes to finding him a home. He has been waiting a very long time and deserves his second chance for a happy ending. He is
a handsome, five year old Pit Bull who is available for adoption through
Phoenix Rescue Group . Stay tuned
for next week's update.
