My story

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

Dexter went on a pups and pjs sleepover on 3/21 and here is what his people had to say:
`Took him in multiple walks around our quiet neighborhood in Roseville which he did pretty well except walked forward a lot. He takes in all sounds and new things pretty well not too barky or anxious. He also didn’t use the bathroom in our house the whole time but not sure that’s a coincidence or if he’s house trained. He was exciteable but did eventually lay down a bit while we worked so he showed he can be patient as long as he’s in the presence of his humans that’s what matters most. Loves cuddles this man literally will sit or lay on you while receiving pets if given the chance. He’s extremely friendly to something we noticed. At home he never barked or said much so a quiet one, but he’s a big clingy lover boy following us everywhere room to room. Played fetch with him in our backyard multiple times and he was very good at burning off energy and being a good boy catching and chasing the ball. He was very interested in mirrors we had up in our house too. Took him out to a public shopping complex that was outdoors but unfortunately he was just too excited to meet everybody so we had to call it off shorter than we wanted to. Fed him a good meal that he licked right up, and went for a night time walk. He was good about not jumping on the bed after some initial reminders. Laid next to us for a good solid 8 hours but he’s a fussy sleeper but could be a new environment. He’d move a lot (but not fully get up) just change positions and whimper maybe bad nightmares. `
Dexter is a good boy but a young boy with lots of energy so training will be essential!
