Description:
Hi I'm Michael!I know I'm super cute but really the best things about me are my smarts and my loyalty! True to my breed group, I am a Velcro boy through and through! I want to follow you everywhere and be a part of everything you are up to. I think I would do best in a home with another social, energetic dog, though it's not a requirement for me. I think it would help me get my energy out, teach me not to be so nippy when excited, show me the ropes of dog life, and gain confidence when I see strangers approaching. I would love a home where someone is home a good deal of time so I have activites to do and people to follow around. I can be in a crate for short periods of time but would likely not thrive having to be in one full time due to my need for enrichment.I am working on potty training and catching on quickly, though if you don't see my signals, I will have accidents inside. I love to keep busy, a good mix of physical and mental activity will keep me happy and help me settle down when needed. I can get overstimulated and then I get a little extra bitey so I'm working on channeling that into toys, puzzle games, or redirecting to focus on humans. I loooooove TREATOS and they help me focus. A home with breed group experience would be helpful, but not required. It's unknown how I would do with cats, so slow intros would be needed. I do get a little extra nippy sometimes so I need a home without young children.
