My story

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


Riggs "lethal weapon" is a 4 year old full red heeler. He is an incredibly smart, loyal dog that loves going on off leash hikes, playing fetch, tug, using his herding ball, doing tricks, eating bully sticks and rolling in smelly things. He is muzzle and crate trained, and very food motivated. We have had Riggs since he was 12 weeks old from a local breeder. We took him to puppy kindergarten class, impulse control classes, socializations play groups and worked with other trainers. He has always been a mouthy vocal dog, very classic heeler in that way. He loves to learn new things and is happiest when he has a job or is outside exploring. He is down to travel and has never met a body of water he isn't interested in exploring or trying to drink. He does have some reactivity and resource guarding that requires an experienced owner to continue working with him on. He takes a bit to warm up to new people but he is very loyal to his people.
