Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Meet Ryder! He's a handsome 3 year old shepherd mix, weighing in at 72 lbs. Don't judge him by his kennel presentation, he transforms into a different dog once he's out of his kennel. Ryder does well on a leash and tries to keep his kennel clean! He also knows "sit" & "down!" Ryder can be dog reactive, so would likely do best as your one and only. He enjoys pets and really "leans" into it!
One of our handlers took him away from the Pound for a field trip. This is what she had to say. “This guy is able to load into the bed of a truck and rides well. He was very happy to have the wind in his face. He showed high energy at first, but after just a few minutes of redirection walked calmly by my side. Ryder looks to have had some basic obedience training, picked up on hand signals very quickly, listened to the leash when redirecting and sitting. When jogging, his pace is perfectly in step with the runner, running partner extraordinaire! He’s excited to meet new people, but calms quickly (even allowed a perfect stranger to give him the biggest bear hug around the neck) and will sit or lay by your side when chatting with others. Pretty excited about other dogs, but sat quietly with new dog about 6’ away while socializing with people. Very interested in the birds and probably would have chased if not on lead. Ryder also likes to mark territory, males, go figure. ? Ryder has energy, but it is very controllable. He’s very intelligent, could see agility course in his future.” Ryder also got to go to a training hour with James Worley of Milspeck9. See pics & video on the Dogs of Del Norte County FB page!
