My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kobe would do best in a home in which he would not need to be alone/crated for long periods of time. He would do great in a home with older children and/or another dog(s). Kobe loves other dogs! I've been able to do some play sessions with him and my dog that likes other dogs.. My one dog is patient and makes corrections as needed that Kobe is receptive to. So Kobe learns fast and is a really great dog. Kobe has some separation anxiety as a result of neglect by his previous owner.

We’ve found that when he has a human nearby and access to toys that are okay for him to chew, he's amazing at switching between keeping himself busy with his toys and then taking a nap near his human(s). He loves chew toys and is very food motivated. Kobe also loves blankets, cuddles, and naps with his humans.

We have not witnessed any signs of aggression in Kobe. While Kobe is eager for food, but Kobe has not displayed any signs of food aggression or aggression or resource guarding with toys and treats. He's a smart boy that is very trainable. He knows “sit” and “down,” although he does best when hand signals are paired with the verbal commands. We've slowly progressed from not just getting Kobe to sit before eating, but to also getting him to wait to be released to eat. I also think if someone was interested, he'd be great at agility training and/or dock jumping.
