My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Franco is a sweet 10 month old puppy who has not had the best start in life. His previous home had no boundaries or rules in place for him, and they were trying to clicker train him the wrong way which created a few problems but we are working through that. His biggest issue is that he doesn't trust strangers very easily. We believe that when he meets a new person for the first time and they look him in the eyes or reach out to pet him, it scares him and he will growl lunge and snarl at the new person. However if you have the new person fold his arm across his chest and totally ignore Franco, within a few minutes Franco will run over and start licking the person's hands and want to
Play with them. It may take about 3 or 4 days of not confronting him with your affection before he is totally comfortable with you and then you could stare him in the face all day long and he would be fine with it. Franco is friendly with other dogs when he is on a leash and would likely play with a submissive dog at a friends house or something, but he is a very dominate dog sometimes and he probably should be an only dog. Cats are unknown. I would say older children would be fine. He loves to case a ball, be chased, love to play pop the bubbles, does not mark. Actually has a bladder made of steel I think. He is house trained. Knows sit down and shake. Walks pretty well on a leash. Doesn't pull at all but sometimes he cuts you off on accident. Just needs a little more practice
