Ralphie, the seemingly unadoptable French bulldog from upstate New York, is making progress in his intensive training program, according to his shelter.
The tiny bundle of terror captured the internet’s heart last month after the Niagara SPCA in Niagara Falls posted a brutally honest adoption ad. The shelter described him as “a fire-breathing demon” and “a terror in a somewhat small package.” Following the viral adoption ad, Ralphie was adopted for the third time, only to be returned to the shelter when he “proved to be more” than his adopter could handle.
“He has really great basic obedience skills which have made training easier.” The trainer described Ralphie as “athletic” and “kind of a fun guy,” according to the shelter. In addition to working on impulse control and reactivity, Ralphie is also engaging in agility training, according to the Facebook post. This will help with “creating a bond of sorts and expending energy.” The shelter also posted an adorable video of Ralphie’s training in action.
