My name is Nÿko!

I adopted Nÿko as a puppy from Lancaster, PA. By six months, he began showing signs of separation anxiety, despite early training at Petco. Though he graduated, Nico still has issues with leash pulling, barking, and gets antsy around large dogs, cats, and squirrels, though he enjoys the dog park with smaller dogs. He does bark a lot and can come off as intimidating to kids, but he has never shown aggression but he has high reactivity and skittishness.

After trying personal training and anxiety medication with limited success, I realized his care needs exceeded my capacity, especially as a new mom. Nÿko has a sister he gets along with but can get jealous if she receives attention. I am seeking a home that can embrace Nÿko’s personality, heloving yet anxious nature and give him the support and structure he needs.


Nÿko and Nola are best friends and I would love for them to continue to have monthly or bi-monthly play dates. I am hoping whoever he goes to will stay in contact with me too
