Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Curly! He is a graduate of our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'wave', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.
Active | Affectionate | Quirky Personality | Best with Active Lifestyle
Curly is a high-energy, affectionate pup with a big personality and lots of love to give. He thrives on attention, activity, and outdoor time—and he’s always up for an adventure, whether it’s a morning run, a car ride, or just lounging in the sun with a good stick.
Energy & Exercise Needs
Curly is an active dog who needs daily physical activity to stay happy and well-behaved. He currently enjoys morning runs and sometimes an afternoon walk or play session. If he doesn't get enough exercise, he may chew or get into things indoors, but a well-run Curly is a calm and cuddly one by evening.
Leash Behavior
Curly walks best with a nose-lead leash, as he can be strong and persistent on a standard one. He occasionally pulls to chase wildlife or to greet people and dogs, but he's learning to redirect with guidance. He’s food-motivated, which helps with training—he’ll do almost anything for a piece of chicken!
Socialization
With People: Curly is loyal and curious, often following his person from room to room. While not aggressive, he can be protective at home and may bark at strangers, especially men. After brief introductions and calm corrections, he quickly warms up and returns to his playful self.
With Kids: He doesn't gravitate toward children but shows no signs of aggression or nervousness around them—he simply keeps his distance.
With Dogs: He’s playful and confident with dogs his size and enjoys fence running with neighbor dogs. He hasn't been introduced to small dogs yet, and his play style may come off as dominant but not aggressive.
