My name is Dogberry and I am looking forward to meeting you! I am a high energy, growing puppy who requires a lot of attention, play and exercise. I have been described as a puppy with enormous potential but I need the right environment and family who can dedicate the time and patience it takes to train me and help me reach that potential. I respond well to focused, direct, and consistent training, especially when treats are involved. I can (almost always) sit, lay down, and stay on command and am great at letting you know when I need to go outside and use the restroom. I am crate trained and napping during the day or sleeping through the night in my crate is not a problem.
I would love a home with active adults who would enjoy having lots of fun with me! I’m a boy who needs more than a casual walk a day. I have a very busy brain and would love to do agility, scent work, dog sports, or other fun training activities. I love playing with other dogs if you happen to have some, or I wouldn’t mind regular playdates with your friends’ dogs, too.
I am curious about cats and chickens but I don’t want to hurt them. Actually I am just plain nosey and will get into things if you are not around. I am happy in my crate and it is a good place for me when you can’t be with me or if I need some nap time.
I have a wonderful heart and really will love being around you. When I trust you, I'll want you to rub my belly whenever you can! One thing you should know is that, like all toddlers, I have big emotions. However, there are times when I have trouble expressing my frustration and I do not like being physically restrained, especially by my collar. I have been living with my trainer for awhile and she would like to work with my new family members for a couple of weeks to make sure we understand each other.
I am looking forward to meeting you and your family soon and I am so thankful that you’re interested in welcoming me into your home.
