My story

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

Cosmo is a very affectionate, snuggly, intelligent, and food motivated dog. His sister was found to be Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer, Sheltie, and Toy Fox Terrier. He is about 2 1/2 years old, 50 lbs. He is well trained, with basic obedience classes since he was 12 weeks. He knows 14+ commands (sit, stay, place, down, take it, leave it, drop it, wait, fetch, shake, kennel up, touch, heel, “chow time”). He is crate and leash trained and fully house broken. He loves to play fetch—is downright acrobatic with a frisbee. He does well at daycare. Currently he lives with a cat and school-aged children whom he loves but can get a bit wound up with. He can be overprotective and overstimulated by noise and people walking past the yard. Leash-reactivity has been an issue, and he has lunged/barked/nipped. Visitors to the house need to be introduced slowly. Cosmo would be a great dog for someone wanting an active Velcro dog with a fenced in yard/low traffic area and time to continue his training.
