My story

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

Meet Adoptable Obi!

Obi would be a handsome complement to his future family. He’s a sweet and goofy boy looking for his forever home to make his people laugh. He needs someone who is confident, looking to get involved, showing him the boundaries, and defining the expectations. Obi is a powerful dog in mind and spirit and will demonstrate his intelligence if an assertive pack leader provides him with guidance and the needed, positive assurance and reinforcement. Obi is a Good Boy wanting to please his human and loves clowning around and working for treats.  

Obi, like many children, will put it to the test and see what’s allowed, if he can make more decisions on his own. His pack leader will help Obi navigate these decisions, so he feels comfortable while facing certain situations such as dealing with other dogs or door rushing. Energy control and responsiveness is on the forefront as Obi learns the dynamics of his new relationships and proper introductions - it gets better with every encounter when the pack leader understands his beautiful personality and temperament, staying mindful of guiding Obi to be his very best with people or dogs in social settings. He does well with other dog introductions when given enough time to know them, but the most guidance needed will be when meeting dominant or stressed dogs, particularly other assertive males. If an encounter becomes tense, Obi will easily go into a crate or dog run to rebalance; it serves as a den to calm and adjust him. A few times he was confronted with a dominant male where separation was appropriate, his trainer was able to leash and bring him away without a struggle or argument.    

Obi has a transition coach available by appointment to share with his adopter, the key points to structuring a positive outcome. Training may refer to the dog – but you’ll agree that a big benefit is for the pack leader who recognizes how to face the development phases. The lifelong commitment between the two, the human and his/her dog, is dependent on building a solid foundation. If there are other dogs, Obi’s playfulness and adaptability will require skilled management, patience, and enough time for him to integrate the pack.

Obi is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped, and ready for his special meet & greet day with a potential fur family. Also included in his adoption are two consultations discussing his nutrition and biological balance.
