Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hunter has been a great dog. He’s friendly with people, kids, and other animals of all types (big and small dogs as well as cats). He’s super playful and loves to run around. He often gets the zoomies after eating. He’s totally house broken and only goes to the bathroom outside. I do take him out often so idk how much of that is me or him. He doesn’t bark or make noise unless someone is knocking on the door. He likes to chew on soft things, so soft pillow-like toys are best for him although he tends to rip them easily. He also likes to chew on shoelaces so avoid shoes on floors in spaces he can get to. He’s good at walks and loves to explore. He does very well with commands too. He is easy to teach when there are treats in hand. He knows the commands “sit” and “paw”. Hunter is also very attention seeking and loves pets, cuddles, and being near someone in general. The only thing to be careful about is that he thinks he’s a lapdog and tends to try to jump onto a lap and he also likes to jump when he’s excited. But overall I can see Hunter with a big family with lots of moving parts and family members to play with.
