Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Artie is kind of a nervous guy, not to be confused with fearful. He seems to either love you or hate you, and in either case doesn't really like to kiss on the first date. If he hates you it's usually short lived and learns to love fairly quickly. Usually once he knows that you are are in charge and knows that you are the one who will be feeding him. He has been professionally remote collar trained on low levels to remind him to mind his manners and also to release some of his stress and nervousness with new people and new animals. His new owner will get free training on the proper way to use the remote collar on him if they desire. We will also include a remote collar in his adoption fee, if his new owner is willing to have an open mind and learn this new way of training. There is no pain involved in the training.! In fact, artie is very sensitive to the collar and works on levels so low that you or I can not even feel it if we were to put the collar up to our skin on the same level. Artie in indifferent with new dogs. He either tolerates them or he just doesn't like them at all. If he doesnt like them, it is possible that he will fight. He has been in one fight since he has been in our rescue. The fight was not completely his fault and the other dog hated him back and was ready to rumble. Artie lost the fight. Artie does not do well with cats. I don't suggest he live in a home with children or in a home that has a lot of traffic in and out with many new people. So you are probably asking yourself, why on earth would anyone want Artie if he is difficult to get a long with. Well, maybe knowing that anyone who has given him a week for him to grow on them, has fallen in love with him. After you can get past the initial 2 weeks for him to learn to trust you, he really is an amazing dog. He is well behaved. Listens to what you tell him, is playful and pretty cuddly too. He doesn't destroy stuff. He is completely crate trained and potty trained. You can send him to "place" and he will hang out on place until you tell him that it is okay to break that command. He walks awesome on a leash. He is very protective of his people. And he will be your buddy forever. If you think that you may be a good match for this handsome boy, please fill out our questionnaire and return it to us. We will contact you and arrange a time for you to meet Artie in person.
