My story

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

Please contact foster at BALINTAWAKBRIAN@GMAIL.COM

*he is friendly with other dogs, shows positive body language, likes to roughhouse play/wrestle, but does so reciprocally - assuming both dominant and submissive positions in a very healthy play/wrestling and routinely `checks in` to make sure other dog is ok.

*LOVES people and likes to do the Velcro pitty thing - wants to lean into everyone he meets. Wants to meet everyone while on walks but doesn`t lunge to get to them

* is very curious and wants to be wherever you are. Doesn`t like to be left alone

*very intelligent and is already walking on a loose leash most of the time after just a couple days of training. Knows sit/down. Currently working on waiting for permission to move through doors rather than charging through upon open.

*not extremely food motivated, but treats do help for training

*is kind of timid and submissive in nature

*not used to being in crate yet, doesn`t like to go in, but once in will settle down

* very cooperative at bathtime

*learning to play with toys - likes to test other object, but easily redirected with an appropriate toy
