Trooper is a four-year-old Shepherd Mix with a heart of gold and a spirit that's always ready for adventure. Trooper ls incredibly athletic and social. He loves to play and train. He would make a great running buddy, or agility course mate with the right handler. Trooper enjoys learning new tricks and thrives on pleasing his people.
He Is a gentle soul who craves affection and thrives on positive reinforcement, he loves being close to his people and being petted even after a long busy day of playing at daycare.
Training Strengths and Needs:
Trooper does a great job with recall; further training is needed to perfect this as he can be surprised by runners/bikers and he does love to greet people I He walks really well beside you on a leash with gentle correction but continued training to walk calmly past other dogs is needed. He also does well with sit and stay, and will e11cel with consistent training. While he always waits permission to eat his food he is still learning about boundaries and limitations. He cannot be left alone on his own devices in the house or he will find a way to entertain himself which is when he doesn't always make the best decisions; however he can be crated while at work, and is just as hapj1f to sleep at your feet in a home office. Trooper takes a few meetings to greet new people calmly, consistent commands paired with guests totally ignoring him until settled has proven very effective. He has shown some possessiveness over stolen objects but responds well to gentle correction and fair leadership. His current family has helped him improve in these areas but he is stlll !earning.
Sadly he does not know how to handle himself around rambunctious children and because he does not know his size he accidentally knocks over little ones; which is why he is in search of his forever home however he can be managed around visitors' children by insisting he stay close or being crated. Trooper gets along well with other dogs and could be adopted Into a family with other dogs. He would likely be good in a home with cats, but a test period would be recommended
Summary of needs:
Trooper needs some work with managing reactivity, impulse control, self-confidence and problem solving on his own. He should be walked by a strong dog walker until his reactivity is settled. Firm gentle corrections and consistency yield the best results.
If Interested: Please contact us at kthm.eddy@gmail.com.
He's an Incredible dog with lots of love and dedication to give! Please note that he's not a couch potato; Trooper needs a loving owner who understands his needs and is committed to continuing his training and providing the mental and physical stimulation he craves.
Please note that all interested families will be interviewed by the family and his trainer to ensure it's a righ1 fit for everyone: he deserves a forever home I

More about this rescue
Keshet Kennels/Rescue, in addition to providing services such as boarding/daycare and facilities rental, is a large breed dog rescue focused primarily on owner surrenders. Under certain circumstances we take dogs from other sources. Keshet’s focus is large breed dogs because we believe that large breed dogs are more at risk.
Neither Keshet Kennels nor Keshet Rescue are registered charitable organizations. Currently, the care of rescued dogs is funded by the owners, from individual sponsors and a portion of Keshet Kennels’ revenues.
