Oh I love it. Part of my requirements for school was to volunteer 10 hours of time training dogs at a shetler. I did my time at Metro East Humane Society in Edwarsville. I fell in love with those boys (for some reason, the ones I worked with were all male LOL). It was great to see when the finally learned "sit" or "leave it". And I had a great self-esteem booster when one of the employees took the advice I gave her about the bloodhound puppy to heart. He was too stressed in the shelter and everyone thought he was "dumb". I told her he was a great dog, that just needed a routine and some place to get rid of his energy. She talked to a gal who had kids and a farm at a trivia night, and the woman adopted him. Plus, she sent back a coupon for a free training session at a local business and reported that he was abosolutely wonderful. Score!!! LOL
