Bones

My story

Hi! I'm Bones!! I am a big boy who doesn’t understand his size or strength, but a lover!!! He’s living his best life playing, exploring and loving the humans taking care of him! The world is very new to him so he is learning. There are a lot of things that he is scared and unsure of. It takes time patience and reassurance.  His leash manners are not the best and most certainly a work in progress. He is a puller, but I know he will and can learn he just needs someone to show him patience and consistency. It is also going to be trial and error when it comes to what leash he will respond to best. We used a shorter slip lead leash we had at home the leash for the harness was way to long for him at this time. We found with the longer leash he was in control and could pull more during walks. This again will come in time with patience and consistence. We have been working on sitting and waiting as we go outdoors. He is very treat motivated and was able to hold a sit and stay until I released him. I have him sit and then put the leash on.  He also responded well to correction and redirection. We used no sir and come here and he responds to those very well. Bones is an amazing dog and I know with love, kindness, patience and consistency he will continue to grow and flourish and make a beautiful addition to his forever home. He only ever had 1 accident in the house and it was during the food change, but nothing since so I believe he just had an upset stomach. He’s a big dog who thinks he is a lap dog and just wants all the love and snuggles.  ##1970520##
