More about KEATS

Any dog that has been “parade tested” and passed is an excellent dog. Keats was the star of the show, leading the pack at Sacramento’s Pride Parade on Sunday June 15th. Despite the noise, chaos and crowds, he remained focused on his human handler and soaked up the love from all the people wanting to say hello.This young guy is the center of the party and you’ll love him immediately. He’s incredibly excited about life and has a really sweet spirit.While Keats has shown that he has some dog reactivity, he also responded really well to techniques commonly used with reactive dogs. He’s extremely treat-motivated, which means his attention can be redirected fairly easily. He does not fixate on the other dog once it’s out of view. He also can be within 50 feet of some dogs and not respond. These are all really great signs that with continued patience and practice, he will only continue to improve.As of the time of this writing, he has not yet been tested with other dogs to see if he can cohabitate with one, because leash reactivity and dog aggressiveness are two separate issues; a leash-reactive dog may still be able to have doggie friends in some cases.Currently he is in a back kennel by himself, out of public view, and you will need to request that a staff member bring him out in order to meet him.https://youtube.com/shorts/xo37iPFv-1s?is=SaDeLzPG26kOtbkf
