My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oakley is super smart & energetic. He's also only 1yr so still learning manners and can get mouthy/jumpy when excited/anxious. He does well in training, vets, & groomers. Loves fetch, dog park, squeaky toys, & car rides. Good walker & doesn't chase things. Only barks when there's a reason. Does well with other dogs; indirectly around chickens, horses, cats & did well.

We got him from the shelter in late Oct & were told he was a stray. My 15 y/o son has ASD and had a meltdown which resulted in Oaks becoming overly protective of mom. He hasn't mean bit, but will bark, get between us, and become overly activated when we're both home. Its created an anxious environment for both of them that isn't fair to anyone.

He needs an active family who is willing to continue training so he can reach his max potential. He needs a large yard to run free &/or exercised at least twice a day or he'll get bored. He's going to be an amazing dog with some patience and less anxiety.
