Accreditations: AKC Obedience CD Companion Dog Title
Background: Buster was adopted from NYC Animal Care & Control in June 2009 at age 5. He has overcome a multitude of behavior issues to become a truly proud, confident, reliable dog.
Buster is trained in on-leash and off-leash obedience, forced soft-mouth retrieval, tracking/trailing and scent detection. His greatest joy is meeting new people, and his special gift is working with reactive, fearful and aggressive dogs.
