NAME: Swiss (m)
BREED: Chihuahua cross
AGE: almost 5 months
WEIGHT: 11 pounds
LIKES: Running around in the back yard with other pups, belly rubs, hard chew toys, snuggling, and digging in blankets to hide his toys.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: Swiss is reserved and a little anxious at first meeting, though he is extremely affectionate after you earn his trust.
POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Yes- outside and potty pad trained in his foster home. If there are potty pads down, he's using them, otherwise just saying “potty” and taking him outside is good, which reinforces a skill he is mastering each day.
CRATE TRAINING STATUS: Not thrilled about being in a crate alone and will let you hear about it. He does better if he's with another pup to keep him company.
EXTRAS/MISC.: Needs a little leash training. Swiss can walk on leash, but he freezes if startled and digs all 4 into the ground. More time and patient practice will give him confidence and help reinforce this important skill. Swiss is a Velcro dog. If you've earned his trust he needs to know where you are all of the time and has no concept of personal space. This cutie likes other dogs, and is curious about cats. He is untested with young children.
