Nitro is a super smart, playful, and sweet 3 year old boy who will make a great running buddy or movie buddy! Nitro is so full of love but after being surrendered by his previous owners, will do best with a patient family willing to continue working through positive reinforcement training for him while he continues to blossom. He is a cuddle bug and a shadow looking for his forever home! This playful boy loves playing with a jolly ball in the yard and will do best in a home with a fenced yard. He is used to being in a home with another dog.
He doee best in a calmer daily environment, as he gets over excited easily. We have been working actively on stress management and he is learning how to manage high stimulus situations. However, he can manage a busy household during the holidays and does well with kids over 10. He loves to meet new people!
Crate training is in progress but otherwise loves his crate and sleeps there overnight. He has good leash manners when his stress is managed and he can focus on his person. He loves training games and is very responsive to positive reinforcement training. He is a very smart boy! He would need to continue training in a very small group or one-on-one to continue work through his fear of strange dogs.
He does love playing with his foster doggie brother but would have to have a very slow introduction to a new dog. He is reactive to new dogs on leash and gets very excited by squirrels.
He does need some work with reassurance and resource guarding - he gets concerned if another dog gets something that he doesn’t. this can be managed by feeding and treating separately, and with supervised yard play and some alone time for himself.
Nitro loves couches, and when he goes to a new place will probably hang out in the living room by the couch for a few days as he gets used to his new environment.
