Monaco is a young dog with a pushy personality. He's young, and although he knows `sit`, he still has a long journey ahead in regards to positive training. He has a habit of biting the leash when coming out of his kennel, and can be mouthy and jumpy when excited. He would likely do best with someone who's active and can give him the energy outlet that he needs.
OTHER PETS: Monaco is dog selective and will escalate reactions from other dogs. He doesn't understand feedback from other dogs and can be very intense when interacting. With the wrong dog, Monaco's pushiness could easily lead to a fight, so he would likely do best as the only dog in the home. [Should Be Only Pet] NO CATS
OWNER EXPERIENCE: Monaco can be a lot to handle when he hasn't gotten sufficient exercise, so someone with an active lifestyle who knows how to handle energetic dogs would be ideal. [Some Experience]
KIDS: Monaco can be very mouthy and jumpy when he's worked up, so he would do better around kids who are old enough to understand how to interact with him and won't be knocked over easily. [15+ (Must Meet First)]
ACTIVITY LEVEL: He might not be the biggest dog around, but Monaco has a significant amount of energy to expel! While he does calm down a bit once he's out of the kennel, he still loves to run and chase toys around for as long as possible. And while daily walks will be important for him, he's also the kind of dog who will need various forms of mental enrichment and games -- to make sure both his body and brain are relaxed at the end of the day.

VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]
LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Monaco is still at the beginning of his training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while he adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Monaco not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner. [Moderate]
