Travis County inmates training shelter dogs

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Inmates at the Travis County Correctional Complex are getting a new understanding of mannerisms, behavior, health and wellness through the eyes of a dog. Pups from the Austin Animal Center are coming to the complex once a week to visit with inmates who have qualified for training classes. These inmates get to have hands-on coaching with the dogs, teaching them to be house-trained, sit, lie down and walk on a leash.
The program benefits all parties involved, accord
