Waylon

My story

Waylon is a sweet, playful boy. He has been my little shadow since he came home with me, always sticking close to me and curious about everything I'm doing. I've taken him on multiple car rides of different lengths and he does great every time. He does pretty well on the leash. He doesn't pull but he hasn't quite figured out the mechanics of it and will get tangled up. I gave him two baths and he has no problem with the bath. He does have a slight problem sitting still but it was still pretty easy to bathe and dry him. He met 4 new people (2 men, 2 women) and was very friendly to all of them. He was jumpy at first but listened when told no a couple times. He met my neighbors two dogs through the chain link fence and he simply sniffed curiously and was not reactive to their barking. My other neighbors have three dogs that regularly bark when we are in the backyard and he doesn't seem to pay them any attention. When he met my 7 year old female dog, they instantly got along. She could do without the constant puppy energy and attention he gives her now that I've introduced them, but she tolerates it and enjoys playing with him. When they both settle down they cuddle up on either side of me and sleep soundly. He will try to chew on things if things are left where he can get them. I have diverted his attention to toys when that happens but he's still learning. He learned to sit with just praise as a reward so he is smart and eager to please. He whines in the crate for a bit then settles down. I've had him inside for two days now and so far he has waited until we got outside to potty. He has a healthy appetite and loves a treat. Overall he has a pretty calm temperament for an unneutered puppy without any training. I think he will be easy to care for and teach.
