My story

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

Please Contact Foster At : lschievink715@gmail.com

Frack went on a 5hr Daycation before and we learned that:
-Frack was initially jumpy out of the kennel and in the kennel yard, but he did let me leash and then harness him without issue. He did not grab at the leash. He generally had good leash manners and checked in often.
-Frack was not sure about getting in the car. He let me pick his backend up and scoot him in without any issues.
-Once in the car and buckled in, Frack was quiet but alert. He had good car manners, and he learned quickly how to get in and out on his own!
-Frack was treat motivated and took them gently. He was not mouthy.
-Frack went to the pet store. He was nonreactive to dogs he met there. He was friendly with the people who gave him attention. He tried once (half-heartedly) to jump on someone who was walking by, but he responded appropriately to a firm “down” and pressure on his leash.
-While on a stroll through Baxter Village, Frack was intrigued with golf carts, halloween decor, kids playing flag football, cyclist, people passing by etc., but he did not lunge or jump at anyone or anything. He was calm and observant.
-At home, Frack enjoyed running zoomies in the yard and rolling around in the grass (see videos). He was not interested in toys; he liked being close to us.
-We took a break and lured Frack into a crate with treats. He did not try to dig his way out or chew through the crate, but he would whine when he heard us moving about (with an occasional bark). We left him in the crate for about 30 minutes. His whining was not continuous during that time.
-Frack seems dog friendly; no reaction to our selective resident dog (see video) or other dogs that barked at him during our walk.
-We were able to redirect Frack’s attention away from our resident cat with treats (see video). We let him see her walking around before we picked her up. He was interested in her, but he did not try and break through the gate. With proper and slow intros, he may be ok with cats.
-Frack does not show well in his kennel. He was a different pup once away from the kennel’s stressful environment.

Here are some other notes about him:
-Curious, eager for attention and wanting to please.
-Happy-go-lucky guy!
-Once had the pleasure of living in a home
-Life of the party- loves having a good time
-I’m a little excited with new people so I have the tendency to show off my jump
