But eventually the dogs do leave. After two months they've learned basic commands corrected the worst of their behavior problems and are ready for adoption. Each year about 100 dogs come through the program and are advertised on websites like petfinder.org and dogfriendly.com. Simpson has no trouble placing the animals which are ideal for people who want to adopt a rescued dog but lack the time or expertise to train one.
但最终这些狗将离开这里。两个月后，它们学会了一些基本的口令，以及纠正了一些不好的行为习惯，并等待重新被收养。每年大约100只像这样在这个项目中被训练的狗发布在petfinder.org或dogfriendly.com等相关网站上。辛普森不愁没有地方接纳这些狗，对于那些既想收养被救助的狗但又没有时间和相关技能去训练他们的人来说，从这个项目中接纳一条这样的狗确实是个理想的选择。
"Let's get a move on Mulley" says Teal gently tugging her Australian-German shepherd into the gym. Mulley was beaten by her former owner leaving her easily intimidated and hungry for affection. "I have to be real slow and patient with her because of her background" says Teal 15.
"让我们勇敢点，往前走，姆里，"逖尔轻轻的拉着她的澳大利亚与德国牧羊犬的的后代姆里进入体育馆。姆里曾被它的主人暴打过，会因为惊吓和饥饿容易的离开逖尔。这个15岁的小女孩说"我因为了解了它的背景后所以对待它时小心翼翼和非常耐心。"
As the other handlers line up with their leashed dogs for a drill loud barks bounce off the walls. "That is not appropriate behavior-tell them to stop" shouts Simpson.
当学生们排成排拉着他们的狗进行训练时，狗的吠叫声越过围墙传到老远，"这是不好的行为，让它们停止吠叫，"辛普森喊道。
"Stop!" the kids command.
"停！"孩子们命令道。
There is immediate silence broken by a few whimpers. "Good. Let's go" says Simpson. "Heel!" The handlers trek across the gym as Simpson calls out other commands which the teens pass along to their dogs. "About-turn halt!" "Forward left turn!" "Forward right turn!" "Sit!" "Shake!"
狗群立刻安静了下来，偶然有几声低声吠叫。辛普森命令："好，继承".他又喊出其他的指令，然后由孩子们传达给狗们。"转向、停、向前、左转、向后、右转、坐下、握手…"
"Good girl Mulley!" Teal says after the session noting that the dog's improved attitude reflects her own. "She's stubborn like me. I want to do my own thing but now I've learned to slow down a little."
"好姑娘，姆里！"课后逖尔给予他的伙伴以鼓励。她说通过使狗进步的同时也影响了她自己。"它像我一样倔强，那时我只顾做自己的事情不顾别人，但现在我学着慢慢的改变。"
Patience persistence praise and practice are the watchwords of Simpson's program. But they can't protect her students from the pain of separation. The kids will soon turn the animals over to their new owners.
耐心、坚持、赞扬和实践是辛普森项目的座右铭。但是这些并不能避免孩孩子与狗分离时的痛苦。这些孩子不久将要把他们的好伙伴交给它们新的主人。
For some the sorrow can be overwhelming and a few have needed grief counseling. "We try to emphasize that they're helping the dog and the community but it still hurts pretty deep" says Simpson.
对一些孩子来说他们能很快的从悲伤中回复过来，但还是有个别孩子需要人去开导安慰。"我们试图去强调他们是在帮助这些狗也是在帮助集体，但有些孩子的悲痛还是很深。"
Justin a slender 14-year-old with blond hair and a shy smile is worried about giving his dog Cherry to a new family. "I wonder if they'll treat her as well as I did" says the boy who's been in and out of trouble since age 12 when his father went to prison. "I was pretty freaked-out when they brought me here" he recalls. "But now I've mellowed a lot. Cherry helped me. I can tell her anything."
