"Beckett Goes to the Big City"

Beckett went to yappy hour in the City.. at Sobe's in Arlington. Doggie fundraiser.
Beckett went to Arlington for his first city stroll and yappy hour.
He did great for his first time in the city. He was fine with all the city sounds. He walked and wanted to greet all the people who were out for happy hour. He kind of thinks they are going to say hello to him as they pass. He met some furry friends and city friends. He sat for 2 hours at the cafe table with a couple breaks.
No new owners there but he is still searching. With a bit of love and attention Beckett is starting to show his funny little personality.
He has settled in and even has a little spring in his step. He is friendly with his foster dogs and trying to figure out playtime. Sometimes he sneaks underneath them for a short cut.
They are not as fond of this trick. He is a funny dog. Beckett has discovered stuffed bones. These little delicacies are the tops to this houndie. His latest trick is raiding the doggie toy box. He likes to take out the toys and carry them around for a bit and give them a try. Still no barking from this little guy.
He has learned "down" and even does a little chase for a ball. The ball comes back occasionally.
With positive rewards and praise we think Beckett could be a star. He might even have done a little roll over, although it might have been by accident....

Beckett's Walking around town!!

Wow! Beckett's new leash training skills are amazing. He has made 100 percent improvement. He heels right next to you.
He walks with his pack of dogs daily and with a simple Halti collar has done amazing work in a short time. No more pulls or tugs with the halti. He even is a good pacer if you would like to jog a bit. Everyone he meets thinks he is the sweetest houndie and hopes he finds a new caring owner soon. He has passed garbage trucks, cars, bikes,runners,kiddies and done really well adapting to leash walks. He watches them all go by.

He continues to meet other dogs on his walks and say's a nice gentle friendly hello. He can walk up and down stairs. And up the open wood see thru stairs in the house. Still working on going down the open stairs - given that he's probably never seen stairs before coming to live with us, this is really impressive.

We get a kick out of watching him roll around on the small throw rug and get a little back scratching with a funny little grin on his face. Another funny thing is he keeps checking himself out in the mirrored closet door. He nudges with his nose. He walks around it to see if there is another handsome hound in the house. Still all he wants is love and attention. He sure is easy to train, with a handful of tasty treats and some positive praise. He is adapting nicely and getting some nice indoor house manners. Boy what a nice dog! Beckett's new owner sure will be lucky to have him.

Beckett's Adventure to his Adoption Event in VA

Beckett went to his first adoption event and did fabulous. He said hello to all the friendly people, got along with all the dogs and made a few kid friends. He got lots of petting and a few compliments on how fabulously friendly his personality is. He checked out all the puppies in their pen. He sat pretty for treats. He just hung out and waited and waited for his special owner to find him. He was asked about his light brown marking above his eye. Nothing wrong with him. It is just a special spot that makes him stand out among the other houndies. Come see Beckett at his next adventure.
