Leaving the kennel behind and Aiming High!

Today was the the day that Aim High entered the world of LAK: Life After Kennels!


We picked him up at the LCAH Kennel this morning and brought him to his foster home in Woodstock. While we were at the kennel, Van took him for a quick exercise in the run. Wow, this boy is a ball dog!!!

Aim High is a beautiful, tall, dark, sweet, leaning, brindle boy with beautiful eyes and the longest needle-nose grin I have seen in quite a while.

Aim High rides really well in the car. Though he had to get a lift into the Element (one of the new things we will be practicing), and when we arrived, he jumped out eagerly.

He has done a great job acclimating to the home life. He had a lot of first encounters today: mirrors (very scary, but getting better already), house cats (all good there), stairs (another thing we will be practicing), dog beds (still has not graduated to the cushy kind), naps (we all needed one today), toys (squeekie balls win the prize), "kennel up" (did great - we feed fosters in the kennel and kennel them when we are not home), and TREATS (he was reluctant at first, but check out the video of how he did)

You gave us so much information - so helpful. We have 2 little boys, and this is one of the dogs Patty is recommending to me. I love all the detail. Thanks!
