Week 7
Sarge is headed out for "parole" this week!  He has found a wonderful family who are sure to love him for all of his days.  He will be sorely missed at the prison.  He found his way into the hearts of many.  But, we all wish him the very best in his new hom.  Way to go, Sarge!!

Week 6
Sarge had an awesome week.  He continues to charm all of the inmates and staff at the prison and a day doesn't go by that he doesn't receive at least a million compliments on his wonderful manners and beautiful appearance.  He greeted the two new recruits as if they'd always been part of his pack and we couldn't have been prouder.  He's especially fond of the newest member of the pack, Bella.  What a pair those two make!

Week 5
Sarge made a lot of progress this week with his leash manners.  He still tugs a little bit here and there, but he made great strides and with a little more effort, he'll get it.  Sometimes it's hard for him to remember not to pull when people are coming toward him.  They're always telling him how gorgeous and handsome and well-behaved he is.  Who doesn't want to get closer to compliments like that!!  This week, Sarge is still working on sharing his toys with the other dogs...all of the other dogs.  Keep up the good work, Sarge!

Week 4
Sarge is such a gentleman.  He definitely has a good sense of what is proper behavior and what is unacceptable.  He is playing very well with the other dogs now and will only occasionally correct them when they get out of hand.  He is becoming a good teacher to some of the younger pups and we are just thrilled with the positive direction that Sarge is headed in.  Sarge is more than happy to share his toys with his favorite doggie friends.  This week, his handlers are working on helping him learn to share even when it may be with someone he is not particularly fond of.  Good luck, Sarge!!

Week 3
Sarge just continues to wow everyone with how quickly he is improving.  HE has been working hard on his sits and stays and improving every day.  But, the most impressive part of his training is that he now plays with all of the other dogs!  In just three weeks, Sarge has faced his fears and is starting to learn the joys of being part of the pack!  He plays off leash with everyone and although he still has setbacks here and there, he is becoming a well liked member of the pup family!  A few more weeks and these gorgeous boy is ready to go!

Week 2
Sarge has made incredible strides in the short time that he has been with us.  He quickly became accustomed to the various noises that are par for the course within the jail and has made friends with every single officer and staff person who has entered the block.  He loves everyone!  He practiced his homework diligently and is now able to allow people and other dogs into his space without too much worry.  But, the best part is what we saw over the weekend.  Sarge is in the program because he needed to relearn how to be a part of a pack and enjoy the company of other dogs.  When we saw him on Saturday, he was trying his best to play with Jet in the doggie yard.  He wasn't completely sure how to do that, but Jet was more than happy to keep showing him just how much fun chasing the green ball can be.  It was so wonderful to see him begin to feel safe enough to interact comfortable with another dog.  Way to go Sarge!!

Week 1
Sarge is off to a great start!  He spent the first week getting to know all of the different handlers, as well as the staff.  He absolutely loves to meet people and of course, listen to everyone tell him how gorgeous he is.  He was a little rattled by all of the different sounds so his handlers started to practice with him right away.  They tried out all sorts of sounds and even recruited other handlers to make noises outside of the cell to help Sarge settle in.  It worked and by the third day, Sarge was as comfortable as could be.  He's already learning to allow other dogs to pass him without barking at them.  This week, his homework includes letting other into his space.  The handlers will start with simply walking other dogs past Sarge while Sarge feasts on the yummiest treats available.  Then, they'll move on to sharing space while getting treats.  By the end of the week, they hope to have Sarge sharing his living space (for a few minutes, at least) with the other dogs in the program.  Good luck Sarge.  You're already doing great!!
