Fun Trick Dog Training

Max

Hi5

I picked up Max my Dachshund/Jack Russell cross on the 3rd of November 2000 from a local rescue centre in Germany. He was found in the woods wandering about.

He was about 3 years old and not used to live indoors and because of that a bit problematic but after six months or so he settled in and felt comfortable. We assume he was not socialised when he was a puppy and therefore has problems with other dogs, mainly large dogs. He needs time to get to know them but is usually fine after a couple of meetings.

Max stayed with my family and only moved to the UK in January 2012 (when he was 14). He has settled in very well and has even learned English. We are speaking English and German with him. He has achieved his Champion Trick Dog title and is working on his Gold Good Citizen Dog certificate.

Max loves to learn something new and whenever I get ready for trick training his eyes are brighten up and he starts to act like a puppy.

He is a very special boy and proof that an old dog can leran new tricks!
