Ripley

Ripley came to live with our Recep­tion­ist Sesellee in the winter of 2013, after he was found as a stray. Ripley is a perfect gentle­man (most of the time), but is very dog-reac­tive. This has been a chal­lenge for his human family to deal with, and his mom works very hard to keep this busy boy active, while manag­ing his reac­tiv­ity issues. With a lot of posi­tive rein­force­ment train­ing, he has completed three levels of obedi­ence train­ing, and has been able to enjoy many activ­i­ties with his family, includ­ing Agility, Rally Obedi­ence, Cani­cross, Bike-Joring and Dock Diving. He has also completed Ruff Mudder twice, which is a 5 km obsta­cle course for dogs and their humans! With careful intro­duc­tions, his list of doggie friends is slowly growing, which allows Ripley to attend dog camp every summer with his sister Stella. He loves to cuddle, and has been known to sit on peoples feet so that he can lure them in for a kiss! He is a genuine plea­sure to be around, and is a beloved member of his family.
