My story

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


Niko is a special guy, he's eager to learn, goofy boy who loves squeaky toys and snuggling. He's huge at 83 pounds he's a tall strong dog, with great agility. We adopted him as a companion for our female dog in January from kcpet project. They play non stop, however he is reactive to other dogs on leash. He also has bitten a dog a dog daycare in February for which he was removed. I would recommend no other dogs or cats at home with this boy. He resource guards toys and places like beds or sofas for that reason he isn't allowed on furniture. He also currently lives with 2 teenagers who are scared of him due to his resource guarding behaviors, reacting to my children but not me or my husband.
A home without children would be ideal. He came to me untrained and with no history. In 3 months he has learned sit, stay, down, shake, up, place, stand, come, leave it, wait, and off. He likes baths, bike rides with bike harness, long walks, and lots of pets! p>
