Duke is ready to start his next adventure now that he has had a chance to get some good rest and good food. He is searching for someone who is down to help him learn the fun parts of `how to dog` like playing because he had to focus on the whole `surviving in the wild` part before he came to TJO. While he is definitely a survivor, Duke is looking forward to less intense adventures, with guaranteed dinner breaks.
OTHER PETS: Duke was interested in other dogs but seemed unsure around male dogs of various sizes and exhibited dominant behavior toward a female dog (we are unsure if such behavior will cease post-neuter.) Duke would do best with a confident, tolerant dogwho will give him corrections (which he listens to) appropriately. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]
OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog]
KIDS: Duke is interested in toys but unsure how to play with them, he really enjoys getting attention from people and is comfortable with most handling. [10+ (Must Meet First)]
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Duke would enjoy a longer daily walk to give him the opportunity to exercise his muscles and his nose. Just because Duke doesn't exactly get `play` now, doesn't mean that he cannot learn from another dog or figure it out with help from his owner - maybe you will both discover a new favorite activity! [Good Walking Buddy]
VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]
LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Duke is interested in people and values their attention, positive reinforcement training will help Duke bond with his new owner while ensuring he has a mastery of basic commands and behavorial expectations. [Minimal]
GROOMING: [Minimal]
