Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gaston is a very friendly, wiggle boy. When I picked him up from Ruff House someone was calling him Gus for short lol. So I called him Gus & it kinda stuck. It's easier to call out I think & fits him🐶 Besides wasn't Gaston in Beauty & the Beast a jerk? This guy is in no way a jerk. Lol
Gus is pretty aloof and still needs to be guided to where you want him to go. I purchased training modules from Solid K9 Training (similar training Michael uses) and we have been training a little on sit, down & walk/heel using food rewards. Food works every time but he'll get overstimulated if you let him. Oh and he loves baby carrots👶🥕
Most of the time he's pretty calm but when he's ready for attention he'll let you know. He likes to get lap cuddles and belly rubs. I mean full on, back in your lap, belly rubs... for 15 minutes or longer if you're willing to appease him that long...
He likes to hang out with us humans but likes his kennel just to chill & decompress. He is kenneled at night and then it's crate & rotate with my dog when we're home.
He loves car rides and pup cups. He is tethered for safety but could ride without tether he is that good.
He behaves pretty well in public. He will pull you around if you let him so he needs firm guidance. He met a little girl (3ish) at tractor supply one day and was very gentle with her, other than that he hasn't been around children. I have not observed any negative reactions to people.
He walks well on leash but still needs work on heeling. He sits perfect at corners before crossing. Saying easy or whoa gets him to slow up if he's pulling.
He kennels up like a perfect southern gentleman and doesn't make a peep, except the occasional fluffing of his bed.
He will let you know when he needs out or when it's getting close to dinner time. His vocalization is pretty funny 🐶😅
He's not food reactive. He does get excited for food and can't wait for the bowl to hit the floor. He still needs work on calming down before eating. I use a slow feed bowl for him.
He doesn't really fetch, he prefers to play keep away and tug. He likes chew toys. He loves his indestructible Goughnut. He is good with other dogs so far, he doesn't like being mounted or dominated.
