Behavioral issues

My story

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

2 year old, Shadow is looking for a calm home with routines. Shadow’s name reflects him very well. He likes to be in your shadow. He likes to be with you when you are around. He loves to sit in a chair next to you or snuggle next to you on the couch.

He gets anxious when our home gets busy, loud and emotionally charged. He likes routine and calm. He shows his anxiety by peeing in the house when stressed and finding something to chew up. He is crate trained and loves to be in it when life gets loud.

He likes treats and is trainable. He is working on not pulling on walks and not having a breakdown of barking at the other dogs on the walk. He likes to play tug with his toys.

He loves belly rubs, likes back pats, and dislikes head/ear rubs. He likes to be able to initiate the physical touch and have others respect his cues of not wanting to be petted right now. He would like a family that had older children or just adults.
Do you need another Happy Shadow in your life?
