Here's what the humans have to say about me:
TRAINER FAVORITE -- shelter stressed right now due to a LONG shelter stay. Has been with us since April 2021!
Dogs: loves most female dogs, non confrontational male dogs
Cats: has not tested well with cats at the shelter
Kids: a home no kids is ideal but could adjust to older kids (14+)
I'm so smart. I know sit, down (lay down), I can give paw, and the recall work we've done show promise for a "come" command. I want to be a loyal boy to someone who truly sees my potential.
Arrived in April 2021 and was great with dogs, new people, etc. After a few months, Breki was stressed and anxious, and began acting reactively towards all of the people "staring in" at him through the glass as well as towards other dogs who went past, barking, etc.
Our trainer noticed this as a behavior change so our clinic started Breki on a medication to help him feel less anxious and threatened. This is really helping, but he can be standoffish with people through barriers.
We believe this to be due to shelter stress which can cause dogs to become depressed or show behaviors that are not typical of their usual behaviors.
With familiar staff Breki is goofy, playful, very much focused on being with you and pleasing you. He gets along with other dogs who are friendly and playful.
