My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name, age, breed: Lando, 2yrs, Lab mix
Likes: Going for walks, car rides, food/treats, attention, snuggles, chuck-it balls, nyla bones, toys, but he is an aggressive chewer, so most toys don’t last long!
Dislikes: Seems to be okay with most things, exception being items he believes are of value to him and shouldn’t have (dryer sheet, kleenex) and will guard them, but with redirection and treats, he will usually drop the item. Additionally, he doesn’t like to be forced into situations, such as going into a crate.
What would be the ideal home? I think Lando will adjust to any home over time, however, he does bark sometimes, so apartment living would not be recommended. He would probably love to have a canine sibling to play with.
Good with other cats? No
Good with dogs? Yes, but be mindful that he will guard his items and food
Good with children? He does fine meeting children and would probably adjust just fine to a home with children 10+ due to his size and his occasional behaviour to guarding. Lando currently lives with a 15-year old and he LOVES her.
Temperament: Lando is a pretty laid back dog and does like to lounge, but given his age, he can get destructive if he’s not exercised regularly. Walking at least once daily and/or having another dog in the home to play with is recommended.
Motivators? Treats and toys
Any commands? sit, paw, down…he needs extra training on ‘come’ because he either doesn’t know what it means or chooses not to listen!
House trained? Yes
Crate trained? No. Lando does not like the crate and will react if you place any amount of force to get him in. If a crate will be used, patience and time will be required.
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? (will get overstimulated, will pull on leash if sees a rabbit, guarding behaviour etc…) Su
