Doesn't seem to mind or react to other animals unless approached first then he'll explore and sniff around. Loves people and will try to hug and play with you. Very high energy, loves to play fetch, and tug of war. He can sit, stay and come most of the time. He's still adjusting to liking pets, nothing wrong with them to him he would just rather play or run around. Needs to be with someone to meet his active needs. He is mostly house trained, just watch for his cues to go out and he does awesome. He loves to chew so we get him the tough bones or supervise him with more plush/soft toys. Anxious about car rides but once inside he enjoys looking out the window, just needs more fun trips. He doesn't bark, he will whine if he needs to potty or wants some attention though. He is kennel trained and does good if you have him "go to bed". Does good on walks, haven't tried anything off leash as his recall in new places can be iffy. He is a very good, sweet boy and would be an amazing companion. Would recommend older kids or adults if possible. He is up to date on all vaccines except his Bordetella vaccination.
