Byrdee has entered our Prison Tails program for obedience training and will be paroled and ready for adoption after 3/5/10. If you are interested in Byrdee, please go to our website www.mixedupmutts.org for an online application and to learn more about Mixed Up Mutts and our award winning program, Prison Tails.

Poor Byrdee has probably spent her whole short life outside without much interaction with people.  She came to us very skinny and submissive and the men in the program realize that she will take a very tender hand for training.  Soon she will discover that she is lovable and that people are a good thing to have.

All of our "P.T." dogs go through obedience training, household manners, and socialization, both canine & human.  Each one is normally enrolled in the program for at least 8 wks.  If they complete their 8 wks and they don't get adopted, then they just continue training!  (MUM commits for the lifetime of each dog we take in)  We have a few "seasoned" dogs that have been with us for a while.  This just means that they have had continuous training throughout their "incarceration" and are quite proficient with their skills.  They have also been invaluable in teaching new handlers the proper training techniques plus helping new dogs find their way in the pack hierarchy.  These dogs are certainly earning their keep!
