Chill, Calm and So-So Sweet

Barley has been training at least twice a day and sometimes three. He even loves to show off his moves. He is finally showing his more playful side which is so fun to see. Barley will run back and forth and pretend to run into you and move at the last minute!

He is very gentle even when trying to take a toy from your hand. Barley prefers you to drop the toy so he can pick it up. He has been more playful with the other dogs and loves his play dates. He had a few this week with Jake and Tank. They all did their commands and got to pick toys to play with. Barley does have a few toys and he loves, a little fox which he will throw all on his own and then retrieve it. Sometimes he will even play tug-of-war, but he doesn’t pull hard and at times will just let it go, being the gentleman that he is. He also likes this plastic white chew ring and his little red Kong which sometimes is filled with treats or peanut butter. Barley has discovered that he loves to eat ice. At first he would just lick it and leave it, but once he noticed it crunched when he chewed it, it was like Donkey Kong (Lol.)

Barley knows all of his basic commands very well and will impress his new family with his extra commands. He knows “Kiss,” “Roll Over” and “Shake” just to name a few. He has become one of the dorm’s favorites because he is chill, calm and so-so sweet.
