My story

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

Perry is almost three years old. He is a smart good dog who gets very attached to his owner. He is treat-driven and loves to go for walks and chase after balls. He is good with other dogs and regularly plays with ones in our neighborhood and at dog parks. Our family adopted Perry when he was 9 weeks, and he’s grown up with us. I trained him to the best of my ability, but for some reason he will out of the blue "warning nip" our 7 and 9 year olds. His tendency is to try to be the alpha around the kids and select adults. I have taken him to training classes, and he has learned a lot, but still he can snap to protect himself. Overall, he is a good dog who needs a great place to thrive. He is not a cuddler, but loves being under blankets or on your feet/legs. He has a lot of energy, but once exercised, will curl up for a nice long nap.
