Here's what the humans have to say about me:
SETH: Ever meet a dog who you just know can be a prince with some patience and positive training? Meet Seth. We got a call that he was wandering the streets and when we picked him up, the neighbors all told us that he lived down the street but the owner did not want him anymore so kept locking him out so he was always roaming around looking for somewhere to stay. Thankfully, Seth was well cared for and has no hard feelings about the way he was tossed out like trash because he holds absolutely no ill-will toward anybody and enjoys the company of dogs and people. He was immediately taken under the wing of 2 trainers who were particularly drawn to him. They spent time with him daily, teaching him to be polite and sit, how to play with toys, walk on a leash calmly, keep all 4 paws on the floor, and most importantly how to handle affection and petting. YUP- Seth initially had a hard time processing being pet, probably because no one ever did. Seth has been a pleasure to work with and is now used as our tester dog as well as our go-to dog for our shy females to learn how to be around dogs because he is the biggest goof ball who prefers to show dogs how many times can roll around on his belly and smile…..and maybe a few face licks and ear nibbles too! His mouthy and jumpy behavior with us is slowly melting away and a relaxed and happy dog with an amazing training drive is what we see….The sky is the limit for Seth. We are looking for someone with experience with large breed dogs to continue his positive training routine and just have the highest hopes for him. His looks alone are amazing but his progress and potential are more impressive and we are so proud of him and want him to continue to SOAR!!!!! He has been neutered and is up to date on all his shots and now he really needs to get out of the kennel life (too many hours in a small space) and begin a real life!!! Is he your Prince?
