I love Doggie Day Out! Today was my second time on Doggie Day Out and it’s my favorite. My friend took me out to a nice long trail with lots of smells. We passed people and other dogs. My friend showed me the first time on Doggie Day Out how to pass them politely with treats and we did it again today. I’m a good boy and I LOVE treats. I am eager to learn anything for a treat. I love stretching my long legs and walking with my friend and smelling all the smells. I had a great day and I would love a home to do this more often!

Three Words to Describe Me are:
Goofy, Handsome, Food-Motivated
Notes from My Walker:
Winchester and I had another lovely day together! He’s easy to harness and readily hops into the car. Today, he was a bit more anxious in the car and would bark at things outside the side window, but immediately stopped when I shortened his seat tether to give him space from the side window. Then he enjoyed looking out the front window and playing with the toy I brought him!

I took Winchester to the Coyote Creek Trail starting at Shady Oaks Park and he was such a good boy again! He walks nicely on the front clip easy walk harness with minimal pulling and loves to check out all the smells. He is super food driven and learns quick. He knows sit and down already! We continued building up his good skills on passing other dogs politely by using treats while walking by. This boy is such a smart cookie and quickly caught on to look at me for a treat when passing dogs. Good boy, buddy!
When people pass his kennel at the shelter, they see a barky big dog, but he’s so great outside of his kennel. He’s a happy, goofy guy that loves to play with toys and go on walks and get pets. At 5 years old, he’s not high energy and passed the puppy and teenager stage. Give Winchester a chance and come see for yourself how lovely he is!
