Shy, gentle, and a little unsure of the world. Dakota is a dog with a beautiful spirit and a kind heart. He joins our program to work on his confidence, social skills, and to help him find his smile. Though he only joined us recently, we were very happy to already be able to update his photos showing just that!
We first discovered this special boy when he joined us for one of our Sunday TTouch classes. He walked nicely on leash, handled the class challenges well, but he seemed lost…missing the light in his eyes. As you can see, that light is starting to return…or maybe shine for the first time.
Dakota is a wonderful dog who will make someone very happy. As he learns that touches feel nice, he’s starting to show affection to the people he trusts. He’s also quickly overcoming his fear of the car and hopped right in after his last class! He rides very politely and is such a sweet, pleasant companion to share a drive or a walk with. In fact, he’s now becoming a pro at adventures to various trails, parks, and stores around down where he explores with a brand new bounce to his step!
We see lots of potential in Dakota and are excited to help him learn to navigate the world, discover his joy, and find a person of his very own!
