Class was canceled last weekend, but Charlotte did not want Evan to miss out on an opportunity to get Evan out of the kennel and into the world. The weather was perfect, and he has so few chances to experience life as a regular dog. She took him to their old stomping ground, Stone Mountain. They use to go there every weekend before training classes began. He got to see children, bikes, and other dogs as he sniffed around and explored the local flora. He did fantastic and seemed to have a really good time! On the way home Charlotte bought him a special treat and he devoured it happily. We are excited to get back to class at Canine PhD this Saturday. Evan is going to make a family very proud one day. He is such a smart, fun dog!
Unfortunately, it is difficult to take pictures if you are just one person! This is an old picture of me and Evan at Stone Mountain--clearly during the winter. Charlotte had let me tag along with them that weekend, and we had a lot of fun. He is wearing a Thundershirt, a product designed to help calm anxious dogs.
A staff member and a volunteer at PAWS Atlanta have been working with Canine PhD to help Evan gain confidence, security, and hopefully get him into a loving home. As of the start of this blog, Evan is in his 4th six week course at Canine PhD. This blog tracks his progress and allows people to see what he is working on presently. If you want more information on Evan or PAWS please check out our website at www.pawsatlanta.org or email Laura at lmckelvey@pawsatlanta.org.
