Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET ERAN!
Smart, playful, snuggly, and super handsome!? This guy is the whole package! Eran recently arrived in Vermont all the way from Georgia, and now he’s ready to find a family that will give him all the love he deserves. We’re betting that he’ll be a great companion for all kinds of outdoor adventures (can’t you just picture him posing at the top of a mountain?) followed by a cuddle session on the couch. If you’re looking to add an active, intelligent pup to your family, come meet him and see if he’s the one for you!
ENERGY LEVEL: Medium/high
- He’ll need plenty of exercise and mental enrichment every day.
DOGS: No known experience living with other dogs, but has done well with them in other settings
- We don’t know whether Eran has ever lived with another dog.
- He did well with other dogs at the shelter in Georgia, and has made dog friends here at HSCC (he seems to prefer the company of the ladies!).
- He is more comfortable with dogs who respect his boundaries, and may correct those who approach him too directly.
- Slow introductions to other dogs are always recommended. Keep in mind that just because a dog has done well with some or most other dogs, doesn’t mean they will like all dogs (just like people!).
CATS: No known experience
- We don’t know whether Eran has any experience with cats or other small animals.
- If you’ve got small animals at home, consider ahead of time how best to introduce them and manage their interactions.
KIDS: No known experience
- We don’t know whether Eran has any experience with kids.
- We have not seen any behaviors like resource guarding or handling sensitivity that would be concerning with children around. All of his excitement and enthusiasm may be overwhelming for very small children.
- We recommend supervising interactions between kids and dogs to make sure everyone is behaving appropriately and staying safe.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Eran is a sensitive guy who is very aware of what’s going on in his environment. He may be more comfortable in a home away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
He isn’t a puppy, but it’s still important for him to learn what is expected of him in his new home.
- Be consistent from day 1 – it’s much easier and less confusing for the dog to loosen the boundaries later than to implement new rules.
- Basic training classes or a few sessions with a trainer can be a great way to get started.
- Training is a great way to build a bond with your new pup, like learning a common language.
- We recommend positive reinforcement-based training – teach Eran what you want him to do! We do not recommend e-collar or punishment-based training, as these methods often have long-term negative effects on dogs (physically as well as psychologically) and create behavioral problems.
- We are happy to provide guidance on training resources, methods, and finding a trainer.
HOUSE TRAINED: Unknown
- We don’t know whether Eran has ever been house trained.
- Keep in mind that a dog who is house trained in one home may still have accidents in a new environment.
CRATE TRAINED: Unknown
- We don’t know whether he has ever been crate trained.
- If you’re interested in using a crate with Eran, be prepared to start from scratch, take it slow, and make the crate a comfortable safe space for him.
