Rocky Board and Train Day 1

Rocky is a special guy. He is a healthy and young shepherd mix but he is a nervous fellow. It took him about 30 minutes of me sitting quietly and ignoring him for him to come up and sniff and then about 10 more for him to allow me to touch him. He enjoys his walks now and my company but yesterday was solely dedicated to earning his trust. So I am prepared for this to be a slow and steady week.
Rocky is a soft natured boy who doesn’t want to be reacting to things this way and so I hope that with patience he can start looking to his people for direction and his confidence will improve.
