Brahms found his forever home on August 20, 2005. He came to his new home and it seemed almost immediately that he leaned on Barbara, Nate and Tally for attention and rubs. He went in the house and the first thing he found was a tennis ball. Nate learned quickly that he loved to play ball.

From his new dad:

I started using a remote correction collar with him to train him for good habits. Sit, down, stay, come, no, etc. It has worked amazingly well, he is a completely different dog. With his daily exercise and the training I have done with him he is like a totally different dog. Very calm, obedient, he lays in the driveway while I work on my cars and watches other dogs walk by. He truly has become a great dog. He will not leave my side for any reason, and if I open the door to go outside he doesn't even consider walking out unless I tell him to. I think he was meant to be my dog he follows my every step, and even now he is sleeping under my chair. I have cut back on his running distance to keep his paws in good shape, but will order his booties once we start picking up the mileage in the cooler weather. Additionally we took him to the trails to run last weekend and he loved it. He is doing ok with Lily, she is still a little afraid of him but she is not hiding all day. They actually sleep next to each other once in a while. She gets a little irritated on occasion and will growl at him but they don't really fight.

I will attach a picture of Brahms...he is really starting to look better also. He's gained some weight, his fur is coming in soft and he actually smells pretty good. He is very obedient, you honestly would not believe it...I only have to tell him something once and he does it. He walks on a leash perfectly now, has not taken anything off the counter in weeks, but shreds stuffed animal toys, and then walks around with just the squeaker in his mouth, squeaking for hours! He is a riot. Thanks again, he is my perfect dog! -- Nate

On August 29th, Damona joined Brahms!
