Meet Polo! A 3 year old very energetic border collie. He is very friendly and loves people.
He is always following his family around, loves to be with them, but needs to be outside a lot. At this time the owners are not able to give Polo the time he needs, so he does get bored very easily.
He does well with other dogs, but as with any other dog, we suggest a slow introduction. He has been to Dogtopia several times for boarding, and to day care all day every other Sunday, he did have a couple of “times out” but nothing bad. He’s never been around cats.
He does play hard with other dogs, he does nip when playing, but that can be easily corrected.
Polo can have some resource guarding with his toys, which could be handled with proper training. Occasionally there may be some food aggression. And he can be stubborn if he has something in his mouth but they have learned to trick him to get it. They have stopped giving him dog bones, that has helped with his food guarding. Polo’s new owners would need to be open to invest in training for him
The family is attached to Polo and did reach out to rehome before, but decided to keep him. But now with busy schedules they are finding it difficult to give Polo the training and activity he needs to strive.
Polo is located in Woodbridge VA
