Quality Time with a Quality Guy

This week, Guinness got to spend some quality time with his secondary trainer! It makes his heart warm to watch these dogs in the program grow and learn, just as Guinness has. His trainer is so proud of him! When he takes him out for bathroom breaks on a leash, if he wanders too far from his trainer, his trainer will say “heel!” And he follows the command just like he is supposed to! Guinness is a very well-behaved (and good-lookin’!) guy.

It is so wonderful watching newcomers arrive at the program, and then getting to see them grow, change and mature into seasoned dog trainers. That is what Second Chance Greyhounds is all about - giving greyhounds and prisoners a second chance, providing a healing, healthy environment for everyone to grow, change, and get better.

A special note from Guinness’ trainer:

“I have always enjoyed teaching others how to do something, whether it is in church or at my job. And when they get really good at it, then they go on to teach someone else. It always made me proud to see that happen. To me, it is a way to pay it forward, a way of giving back to the community. It has been said that we may never know how many lives we affect by our actions. I am glad that I am now affecting lives in a positive way.”

AWWWW! Don’t you just want to adopt the trainer now, too?!
