Pepper is doing very well. He does sit, down, wait, here, kennel, bed, touch, visit and he will hop up to give a “kiss” and does a hug. Stay is improving. He is such a calm, laid-back, sweet, gentle dog. He loves to play off leash and chases balls. He gets so goofy out there and is so cute! When he is on leash outside or in the dorm, he’s a perfectly calm boy. With the weather getting colder, he is a little friskier in the morning. He socializes very well with other dogs. He doesn’t really play with them, but is good around them. Sometimes it seems he wants to join them outside, but then inside he doesn’t. His handler thinks it may be the shiny floors. He walks fine on them but sometimes has to catch his grip on the floor. He is great with all people and is a wonderful dog. He makes his handlers laugh all the time and has turned many frowns upside down into a smile. Pepper is such a handsome boy and it’s not hard to love him. Even people who have been scared of dogs have gotten close to Pepper. It’s amazing the power love has.
