Dexter On Board

Meet Dexter, the newest addition to my dog playgroups. He is tiny terrier mix of some kind, but has a huge personality, and will charm the socks off of any person he meets.

Dexter was a rescue animal available through the Milo Foundation, an animal rescue organization in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and his new family brought him home only a few weeks ago. Due to their excellent preparation, Milo is taking all the changes in his life in stride. He is fairly well-socialized with people and is getting over any minor fears he started off with.


Training can play an important role in successfully welcoming a new pet into your household. There are many excellent positive reinforcement based training classes in San Francisco. Dexter's family has chosen a training class at the San Francisco SPCA (see info on their training classes here)


Dexter is still a little nervous on occasion at the dog park, but seems to be adjusting quickly, and has even made a few friends, like Thelma, who is another Milo dog.

One of my favorite things about Dexter is his prancing or strutting walk -- it's beautiful and funny at the same time, and it definitely shows off his personality. For more photos of Dexter, click here.
