Volunteer Notes: Benji is a good boy who takes treats gently. He walks well on the leash and has the cutest little prance. He takes treats very gently, but still needs to learn the command to sit. He took care of some business and how to clean kennel. He was a super sweet, gentle boy. I bet the only reason he is still available is he is HW+
