Swiss Miss

My story

Swiss Miss is a bright and engaged pup enrolled in our Shelter Scholars program, where he's working on managing on-leash reactivity through a thoughtful combination of training techniques. Using cues like Watch Me and Look at That, along with hand targets, desensitization, and counterconditioning, he's learning to stay calm and connected even around distractions.In addition to his reactivity work, Swiss Miss is also consistently practicing loose-leash walking, building the foundation for enjoyable, stress-free outings. He's being set up for success in his foster or forever home, where his training can continue and he can blossom into a confident and well-mannered companion.My #BoroughBreak Buddy Writes: Swiss Miss is a good boy with a lot of energy. He likes to play fetch and likes people. We even ran into one of his friends on our outing! He is reactive towards other dogs and would probably do best in an environment without other dogs around.What my friends at ACC say about me:My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I love getting pets and - you guessed it - snuggles!I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 53.5 Age: 5yrs 1mths 2wks
