Browney is so endearing and charming boy! He came to us from another rescue along with his sister.. They weren't dealing well in the busy shelter environment so we agreed to take the sibs here at the farm for a quiet life! Browney's sister was quickly adopted by a wonderful family but for reasons we may never know Brown hasnt had many people interested in adopting him!
We all love him to bits and while he still has an occasional spaz attacks he is a very loving and incredibly sweet nut-cake! He just needs the right situation to help him chillax to the .. well to his max!!!He loves and enjoys lots of things and has during his time with us learned a great deal about friendship, trust, kindness and how much fun life can be. The things that get him a little cray are basically new, startling, loud, fast and weird stuff.. Out in the woods or strolling in the quiet fields at the farm you can really see Mr Brown let his hair down.. (even his odd wire strip that runs down his back (affectionately referred to as his "aura") You get to see him smile BIG as he drinks in myriad of heavenly scents wafting by... theres so much peace and beauty in those moments!! He loves a lap.. always has.. he'll often take a post by backing into your legs and tucking his butt by your feet.. so there he is close by.. gazing out in the same direction you are.. back scratching makes the experience divine.. you can feel all the happiness in Brown!!! Its incredibly rewarding!! Browney enjoys the safety of our love bubble unlike when strangers appear Mr B. wiggles and play bows and leaps to greet those of us he knows! He'll even perform quick spins that almost turn into flips as his happy tail wags from side to side! His body wiggles so much it lifts his feet off the ground! Unbridled dog joy!!! Brown enjoys the company of other dogs and plays beautifully with pretty much every "special" dog in our care!! He completely lets loose when he is in the yards playing with his buddies, big and small. They race up and down, skidding around the trees and wrestling about! Brown has even begun to help welcome some of our scared new arrivals!! For Browney pack walks are the awesomest!!!! He is still getting braver .. he and his handlers have developed wonderful coping skills when presented with a startle.. he can now be led to refocus on sit, stay, look, down, touch, and heel and let go of his initial reaction.. Jamie has schooled Brown to have a wonderful recall and he will come when called (almost) every time! Brown would be most content and at ease with his own kind, reliably understanding friend who wants to help and guide Browney through, around, under and over his worries & reinforce the fun & positive responses he has learned here so he will continue to truly & fully enjoy life! Our fabulous handler, Olivia has been working with Brown and teaching him ways to relax and trust her when he gets overwhelmed.. Its so sweet and incredibly touching to watch this lovely team grow and deepen their bond!! Olivia has made a whole new and wonderfully Browney style life for our dear boy!
Browney had a professional grooming and was SUCH a good boy!! Sandi our fabulous serenading dog groomer and friend fell in love with Browney.. as we all have.. He is incredibly endearing! |
Dog Trainer Jamie notes...... as with every dog in our care, we put our heads together & came up with happy playful ways to help Browney relax. His plan included lots of fresh chicken as treats which made every experience a positive one. As Brown was ready, he learned a bunch of fun, confidence building exercises like using the treadmill, problem solving, agility jumps, and balance games.
Recognizing his affinity for fellow dogs we made sure he had regular & varied playgroups with all his doggie friends! He is still getting braver by the day.. he and his handlers have developed wonderful coping skills when presented with an "impending threat".. refocusing on sit, stay, look, down, touch, and heel are all a part of his vocabulary and redirects his attention in a way that makes him feel chill! Brown now has a wonderful recall and will come when called (almost) every time!
A favorite activity of his is long lining in the paddock! Brown went from a frozen panic stricken stare out in the distance looking for threats to loosely galloping through the fields feeling the great pleasure of liberty. Brown always rolls when out in the fields.. he rubs his face in the grass and will sometimes slide 10 feet on his back wiggling on! We are helping him to respond to new people by using his natural doggie skills.. relax ..assess the person by feeling energy.. using scent and reading body language instead of right away assuming stranger = danger!!
Brown is a much beloved scruffy, adorable sweet dog.. We are all enjoying our time with him.. he makes us all so proud!! His thank yous are the best.. He's a GREAT and eccentric dog!! We all love him to bits!

Heres our delightful boy doing his Browney slide and roll and face smearing!! Even when one this mates tries to entice him off for play.. he has to complete the ritual! We think its a way he smooths out his aura! He's all in on the game with other dogs once he's finished his slide! As you can see he is indeed a quirky sweet boy!!! You can hear Jamie chuckling with delight.. thats what Browney does!! He's a good boy!
