BEANS #2

My story

Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact Shelley, 310-344-1722, shelleycampeau@gmail.com:   MEET BEANS #2!! Temperament: Sweet, curious, and sometimes a little goofy. Loves to roll around and lay upside down on his back. He does have some separation anxiety – currently still managed with his trazadone from the shelter and being crated when I’m not in the home   . With a stable routine and happy home, I think this can be worked on and I think he’d do fine left alone outside of the crate. He has not shown any destructive behaviors. He has not shown any resource guarding with toys, treats, or food with me. Training: House- and crate-trained! He is a gem in the crate - happily goes into it with a couple treats when I leave the house (lays down and naps the whole time) and during the night for bedtime (he loves his green bean treats for nighttime). He knows “sit”, “paw”, “down”, and “wait” (for the okay to have his food). He’s very food motivated so he’s eager and easy to train. Activity level: Beans is always ready for a walk or other adventure, but he also loves a good nap on the couch. Want to go on a long walk or hike? Heck yes. Want to have a lazy Netflix day? Also yes. He’s the best of both worlds! He would do great in a home with a yard where he can roam and play, but he’s done well in an apartment with a couple good walks a day and a few potty breaks. A low-key routine is all he needs to stay a happy boy! Leash & social behavior: Mostly a loose-leash walker - he can pull a bit when he’s excited or he sees other dogs, but can be redirected with treats, especially at distances greater than ~50 ft. He’s pretty good with meeting people on walks and has been good with older children (10+; unknown with younger children or babies). He does have some stranger-danger for some people, so slow introductions and introducing people outside of the home have worked well. He’s done fine with both female and male sitters/visitors. Beans’ PACC notes recommended no other dogs due to behaviors noted in playgroup and dog introductions and an altercation with a small dog in his last foster home, so he’d be best as the only animal in the home. Reactivity: Leash reactivity - Beans will pull when he sees other dogs, but can be pretty easily redirected with treats and command if the other dog is ~50 ft or more away. He does not bark, growl, or bite at the leash when we’re on our walks. He is more reactive to small dogs (any kind) or larger dogs who appear reactive or aggressive towards him.  Barrier reactivity noted in his shelter notes. Also, I observed it in unknown, confined spaces where I think he feels threatened (e.g. vet office). His body language is very telling when this occurs - stiff body, straightened tail.  He can get startled easily, so as with most shelter dogs with unknown pasts, no surprise/forced handling. Other highlights: He is great on car rides, long or short. He is great at catching food or toys when you toss in the air. He is absolutely OBSESSED with playing in the hose! He has the cutest snores when he sleeps. He’s an A++ cuddler and napper – will snuggle up next to you on the couch or even come up on your lap (who doesn’t love a 50+lb lap dog?!)
