My name is Mookie!

Mookie is a beautiful, regal (and sometimes goofy) looking dog. He likes to play with other dogs & go out on walks. He loves teenagers & energetic happy people. He needs exercise daily but also sleeps a lot of the day. He’s had training and walks well on a leash although he can be reactive to scooters and bicycles. The right owner/place for Mookie will be where there is/are very experienced, confident dog owners because Mookie has resource guarding issues and a bite history due to fear aggression, we think. Most of the time he is calm and eager to follow commands. He is super food motivated & eagerly awaits treats & rewards. He responds well to structure & consistency. We have worked in the past with a dog psychologist and trainers to help us manage his behavior. He tends to guard/police the areas he inhabits and, is usually calm and manageable now, but he can be moody. Mookie is a sweet boy but I think would do much better in a single-dog family. He loves cuddles and belly rubs!
