My story

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

Meet Waldo!
Looking for a pup with personality to spare? This curious, energetic Chihuahua mix (Confusing, I know) is as charming as they come! Waldo is smart, playful, and always ready for his next adventure, whether it’s a game of fetch, a new toy to try, or learning a fun trick.

He’s a total attention-lover and isn’t afraid to “chat” with you (think husky-style conversations) to share what’s on his mind. Waldo gets along wonderfully with other dogs, makes friends easily, and has great potty manners. He knows exactly when it’s time to head outside for both number 1ï¸âƒ£ and number 2ï¸âƒ£. Plus, he’s crate-trained and thrives on a good routine.

If you’re searching for a loyal, lively, and lovable sidekick who will make you laugh and keep life exciting, Waldo is ready to win your heart.

Waldo also graduated the PAWs to Prison Training Program and here is what the incarcerated trainers had to say.

WALDO

This is a very special little doggy. Waldo or Wallie is naturally a gentle and eager to please pup. He is super food motivated and loves training or playing the learning game. 100% Waldo could be a working dog, bird, facility, service, ext... He is still a puppy so for him to be a working dog he'll need discipline but he is the right mix of smart, eager to please, and motivated to have a real job. Or he could just be the best trained pet you'll ever have. He truly is special.

Waldo's behaviors and fluency for them are:

Sit: ≥ 95% out to about 30'

Down: ≥ 85%

Come: ≥ 40% this is new, he was at close to 90%

reason for loss unknown

Heel: ≥ 85%

Heel me: ≥ 90% walking heel with sitting stops

Shake: ≥ 95%

Bow: ≥ 75%

Get it (anything he can lift): ≥ 80%, 95% for toys

Bring it: ≥75% if very heavy, 95% for toys

Give: ≥ 95%

Leave it: ≥ 75%

Drop it: ≥ 80%

Ready (sit and watch me): ≥85%

Behaviors we didn't finish:

I pull a finger gun on Waldo, he bark/wines: 10%

I take wide steps and cue "through" Waldo walks between my legs multiple times as I walk: 10%

Waldo is hand food safe, meaning he won't steal your sandwich. Was often trained with other dogs both off leash and stayed focused.

The one warning I have for his future owners, Waldo was taught fear early, if you're ruff with him he will shut down. He is very smart and hard working, but he's sensitive to aggression and will submit if he feels threatened.

Also he's still a puppy so ya, puppy's do lots of puppy things that need correction if you want him to live in your house. Not bad, just normal puppy things. But like I wrote he corrects easy.
