Story
This handsome fella is entering the FREEDOM TAILS program in December and will graduate in late February. More information coming soon!Find out more about our Freedom Tails program at https://pawsgh.org/freedomtails/12/12/34Hello, my name is Beau and I am a dog handler for Freedom Tails. I have decades of experience training dogs and working on shaping dog behavior. This big handsome boy is Lenny. He’s a little over two years old and weighs about 80lbs. He’s most likely a mix of Red Mastiff and Chesapeake Bay Retriever based off of his handsome features. He’s 100% an athlete. Lenny is very attentive and curious. HIS EYES! His eyes are captivating and will be focused on you when you meet, that’s guaranteed! Lenny loves to run, jump and chase toys when he’s outside playing. Inside the house he’s a lazy snuggle bug. 12/19/24Hello, Beau here! I’m Lenny’s handler this time around. I plan on teaching Lenny how to be a little more patient and how to not get too fixated on things… Lenny will be learning the following cues with both a verbal and visual (hand signal) command - Sit Down Stand Come Wait Look Place Kennel Crate By me Go see Find it Drop it Back Up Off Stay Lenny is already potty trained and loose leash training is another thing we will focus on this time around. 12/26/24Hello, it’s me Lenny and I wanted to share a little bit about my experience with you. I was adopted from PAWS a little over a year ago as a Freedom Tails graduate. I had a wonderful life with people who understood me and were putting in the time and effort to help me through life. The thing is I love to play. I love to play sooooo much, I can be a little bit much for small kids and well, my humans are having a baby! Since I was no longer a perfect match for my humans, I came back to my Freedom Tails family. It’s been great! I got to see some of my favorite people again and I definitely recognized my new primary handler Beau. We had a lot of great times together when I was here before. I’ve been busy brushing up on some of my cues but mostly working on not being too excited when I meet people. Well, off to work I go! LENNY01/02/25Fact. Lenny is a sweet and sensitive boy. Fact. Lenny can jump right onto anything that’s 4ft or below. Fact. Strangers need to approach Lenny calmly and with respect. Fact. If not approached calm and respectfully, Lenny will have that stranger backup using his voice. Fact. Lenny LOVES TO BE EXCITED! One of my favorite things about Lenny is his size. I love big dogs and Lenny is a big guy! He’s 25 inches tall at the shoulders and is in great shape at 80lbs. He is a machine! He can run and jump and play all day long. I would imagine he’d also like the water. The other thing I love about Lenny are his intelligent eyes. Lenny can have a crazy level of energy outside when it’s play time, but he’s a huge SNUGGLE BUG when we’re inside. Lenny’s favorite treats are pieces of pig ear I hide in his Kong. He also loves a lick mat with peanut butter smeared all over. Both provide mental stimulation and oral hygiene. Lenny is very eager to please everyone, but especially his people.______________________________________________________________________________01/09/25The cues Lenny and I are concentrating on this week are wait and stay. He’s getting wait down very well so we are working on applying it to any citation that comes up. His stay is improving as well! The cue’s he knows well are sit, down, stand, by me, look, kennel, crate, place, find it, up, off, give, drop it, take it, and go see. We’re working on back, leave it, and focus. He is great on the leash unless something really captures his attention. But don’t worry, we’re working on that as well. Lenny is fully potty trained.Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org
