Ricky

Meet Ricky! He graduated from our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer, and he is ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'wave', 'pray' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Ricky is a big boy with an even bigger heart. He absolutely loves people and truly aims to please. When playtime rolls around, he turns into a total goofball—especially when a Kong or ball is involved!

Ideal Home

Ricky cannot live in a home with cats and will not be a good fit for a home where he has access to livestock. He has done very well with female dogs, but hasn't always loved every male dog he's met, so he will need to meet any potential new dog siblings prior to adoption.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were mentioned.

Training & Support

Ricky is still learning his leash manners, and while it's a work in progress, he does well when using a Gentle Leader and continues to improve with consistent guidance. His fosters use a harness when walking him! Ricky will require ongoing reinforcement of his learned behaviors from the P.A.C.K. Program to ensure they become permanent.
