Here is what I learned from having Latte in foster for the past 10 days:
He aced these skills:
Potty Training -Zero accidents. Will go to door when he wants to go out
Crate Training (X-large) -Sleeps quietly through the night in the crate -He can stay for 3-4 hours during the day as long as his needs were met prior (fed, potty break, excercise/play or long walk). -If he gets frustrated or needs a potty break, he will get restless. He unstuffed a bed so no stuffed bedding in the crate. I ended up using a durable crate matt covered in a bed sheet and left only a durable rope toy, durable chew toy (non edible) and kong. He has had no interest in eating treats in the crate. -His crate is in a seperate bedroom and he settles in it by himself. He has done well in all instances (if I am in the room, in another room, or if left completely alone in the house). Thankfully I did not witness any seperation anxiety. I monitored him via web camera.
X-Pen (4ft) -Similar to crate. I put him in one if he was getting overstimulated and needed to calm down.
Overall, Latte is going to be a wonderful dog as long as the adopter is committed to providing additional training and meeting his excercise needs. A lot of people we met really liked him. He charmed so many people with his friendly nature.
Car passenger -Rides calmly in the back of an SUV. He`ll lay or sit nicely. One of the best dogs I have had in the car.
Friendly -He thinks everyone wants to pet him.
Baby gate -Respects 2 ft barrier at hallway when we are home.
Fetch -Returns and drops ball 95% of the time -He gets very excited and may pounce, jump or get mouthy so I worked on having him sitting before each ball toss. He will sit when asked and will auto-sit most of the time if I give him time to rememner what is expected. -This was a great way to help him get his excercise needs met.
Food -No resource gaurding. I could take away a chew when needed, be near his food while he was eating.
He is working to improve these skills and made some progress:
Jumping -He gets jumpy when he meets new people while walking. Sometimes he will autosit, but then forget his manners. -When he is overly excited or if he wants something such play time or to throw a ball or toy
Mouthy -He can get very mouthy, sometimes during playtime or while he is receiving affection, and
