Male Dog, Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie
Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
Turbo--true to his name--likes to live life in turbo-drive! He's an energetic young puppy with no limit to his love for people and other dogs, though they may not always return his enthusiasm. He has also shown that he has no fear of jumping from heights, and will try to sneak through doors if left on his own, so a watchful eye is a must with this little guy!OTHER PETS: Turbo greets other dogs excitedly and readily initiates play, though some dogs may not appreciate his enthusiasm. He would likely do best with a dog that has a similar temperament and play style. Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)OWNER EXPERIENCE: First DogKIDS: Turbo is likely to get along with kids of any age, but is an aspiring escape artist, so it's important that doors are not left open and that kids are not constantly moving in and out of the home. Case-by-Case (Must Meet First)ACTIVITY LEVEL: Currently Turbo can be quite nervous with leashes, and will need guidance and positive reinforcement to learn how to walk on a leash in order to explore the world in a safe way. But he'd be happy to run around--inside and out--while he plays with his people and favorite toys, and will thrive with plenty of mental enrichment! Good Walking BuddyVETERINARY CARE: RoutineLEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Turbo is still a puppy, and still needs to learn his foundational skills! Positive reinforcement puppy training classes are recommended with a qualified professional, as he is still at the beginning of his positive training journey. He will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while he adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Turbo not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner as well. ModerateGROOMING: Due to his fur length and texture, Turbo will need to be brushed regularly to prevent his fur from becoming matted. He would likely also do well with routine professional grooming appointments to keep him neat and comfortable. Routine Brushing / Professional Grooming
