society
found 14 pit bull mixes living in deplorable conditions. The dogs (4 of
whom were puppies) were all malnourished and dehydrated and living in
their own waste. Many of the dogs had open sores, significant hair
loss and parasite infestations. The dogs were placed in protective
custody and transported to the humane society where they received
medical care, nourishment and lots of love. While awaiting a court date
to determine their fate, the humane society worked very hard to nurse
the dogs back to mental and physical health. A volunteer dog trainer was
hired specifically to work with the dogs. Trainers use positive
reinforcement to teach all commands. Many things were done to enrich
their stay such as playing music, using aroma therapy, setting up pools
and sprinklers on hot days and spending quiet time being handled and
groomed. They have received training on basic commands and have been
exposed to a variety of situations and people. The puppies and adults
have been clicker trained to do basic commands. They were also fitted
with sensible harnesses and are working on walking nicely on leash.
