FOSTER'S PAGE

This page belongs to my partner and best friend, Foster. Foster is a mixed breed dog that I adopted from the Orange County Animal Shelter in Santa Ana, CA. in 2005. People often wonder what type of breeds are in him. You can take your own guess, but he definitely has some Schnauzer in him, and maybe a little long haired Dachsund in the face. Foster is a pretty smart dog, and will show you the potential that just about any dog has that is adopted from an animal shelter, humane society, or rescue group. Enjoy!!

 

	FOSTER MAILING A LETTER
	This is a video of Foster mailing a letter. I have been training dogs a long time now and I must say that this is probably one of the most difficult behaviors to train. This one behavior is actually called a chained behavior. This means that it contains more than one behavior (a chain of behaviors). Actually this is a combination of nine behaviors.

 

	FOSTER "WORKING AWAY"
	This behavior is what we call the "work away". It is funny because there are still some people out there that believe that dogs do not understand words. As you can see from this difficult behavior, all of Foster's cues are given from behind. This clip will show you that dogs not only understand words, but also have a potential for learning some very challenging behaviors.
