My story

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

I run a dog training business. Dave is a great dog who I homed for a client, but feel rehoming him would be best for him as my business and dog sport consume my time. He is an active dog, he is agreeable and playful with other dogs. He has some distance increase signaling (hesitancy) towards strangers but non-advancing - typical of the breed. His training is limited, however he is familiar with positionals, place, clicker (terminal marker), and the beginning steps of a recall, he is crate trained. I want to emphasize, he is a good dog; he is very affectionate and loving, I am not rehoming him because he is problematic but to focus on competing. Patience would be required as he has time to settle and adjust to a calmer life. I prefer a handler who has experience with active, working, or herding breeds.
