Additional info:

Biloxi is the cutest little Bunny boy! He absolutely adores his person, although introductions to new people have to be taken slowly and it's best on neutral ground. Once Biloxi meets a person a couple of times he learns to trust that they mean no harm and barks out of excitement. He is highly treat motivated so this goes along way with him. Biloxi is housetrained, but may mark in a new home, he is crate trained and will go in to take naps on his own. He knows "sit" "place" and is working on "stay".
He is leash reactive, but is making improvement on this, he does well with other dogs his size.

Biloxi is a highly anxious dog, with social anxiety and lack of impulse control. He is making slow strides in the right direction but like with any dog with these issues his environment is important, he also needs to be with someone that is able to continue working with him and maintaining his behavioral needs. He needs to be in a calm environment with not too many visitors to the home, because he does get anxious and will bark at some outside noises, it's best he not live in an apt where there are shared walls. If you are a super active person that has dinner parties or game nights Biloxi is not the dog for you! Although he loves going on walks his anxiety does not allow him to be around large groups of people or he will become stressed. Biloxi is a sweet boy that is looking for a home with someone that is confident and willing to give him a calm and easy going life. Biloxi is not an easy boy, but the love that he has for his person will be well worth it.
