My story

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

Name, age, breed: Harrison, 3yrs, Golden Retriever

Likes: Going for walks but pulls hard, loves being pet

Dislikes: Fast introductions to new things (Nervous)

What would be the ideal home? Would do well in an active home that will give him time as fearful and training. He very strong, You are pulled along by the dog, strong walker recommended

Would recommend an adult only home. No apartments due to noise and fearful

Good with other cats? Unknown

Good with dogs? Possibly with the right introduction.

Good with children? No

Temperament: Very under socialized, fearful, would benefit from exposure training. Seems sweet but very nervous. Would benefit being with another dog

Motivators? Toys, Treats, Kibble

Any commands? No

House trained? Unknown

Crate trained? Unknown

How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Could benefit from obedience training and socialization.

Medical: The animal is presumed to be neutered, on medication for fear behaviour
