I'm ready for my new family!

FOSTER UPDATE!

 

Duke (aka Dukey-doo) is a very curious, timid and loving boy! Happy when he feels comfortable, plays well with other dogs. No aggression. With toys you’ll have to worry more about him destroying them before fighting or being aggressive about it. Does play friendly tug-of-war type of play with bear. No food aggression with humans or dogs. Is still timid of taking treats from your hand and we are working on that. He Understands basic commands “sit, and bed” which is his crate. “Treat” and “outside” seem to spark interest and we’re working on “stay”.

 

Crate and potty trained. He will paw at the door to signal that he wants out or back inside. He has recently discovered the couch and loves it. Duke has not been great with the feeling of being restrained, with a leash for example. He has a collar on all the time and trying with small intervals of leash at home. This is coming along and there’s definitely potential. He is also working on the stairs being less scary! His tail is almost always wagging with his foster family but is still timid of company. Typically he retreats to a “safe spot” which is the comfy couch with the pillows and blankets. He loves the sound of his own voice and has a husky type trait of needing to respond if he doesn’t agree. He loves attention and being pet. He loves cuddles and being with the family. And he always sleeps in the cutest positions.
