Benny is an extremely friendly 9 month old chocolate lab mix who currently weighs 48 pounds but will be in the large range (50 pounds +) when fully grown.
Benny wants nothing more than to be your best friend. He is amazing with the other dogs and does well with children. He is comfortable with everyone he meets. Labs are known for their friendliness towards people and Benny is no exception. It is not known if he has ever met a cat.
Benny will need an owner who has the time and patience working with pups. Using the right guidance with consistency and repetition, will help him with the skills he needs to master. Cheerful praise and lots of treats will go a long way in helping him master those skills.
He is working on his house, crate, and leash training. He, like most pups will be a quick learner once routines are established.
Before he can begin to spend time in a crate, he will need to have an established bathroom routine (always after eating, playing, sleeping, and before bedtime). He will also need plenty of exercise and lots of attention. Benny will then be ready to be introduced to his new crate which must be a cozy, warm, and positive place. In the beginning he will explore it and use it for short periods of time. Eventually, the time can be increased based on his comfortableness.
Daily short walks (under thirty minutes) will be a good opportunity to work on leash skills as well as socialization skills. It will be a new world to him with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along his walk. Please note: He may not be a running companion until at least age one when his growth plate closes.
Benny will also appreciate free time in the back yard or at a local dog park. Keeping his mind active with activities that provide physical and mental stimulation will prevent boredom. Bring Benny home and open up the flood gates of love because Benny is ready, able and waiting for you.
