House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Milo arrived with us at the shelter November 9th, 2023- as an unruly pup 10 months old. He is incredibly smart and needs proper stimulation/ mental and physical stimulation. He needs a "Nothing in life is free kind of concept in any situation. Meaning he needs to work for what he wants to get; he cannot just have it. So, for example: sitting before going through doors, crossing roads, getting food. Just getting him to do tricks or commands for any task helps get him stimulated in a positive way. Milo would thrive in a mature household and with someone who is experienced with dogs.Some other Great outlets that work WELL for him are: PLAYING BALL: This benefits him by being interactive with him in a positive way. This teaches and keeps him interested at the same time learning to work with you. FIND IT GAMES: Hiding treats in a room or outside in a fenced area and just letting him use nose to find things, giving him positive feedback. Doing this daily would benefit him as positive stimulation for him. SNUFFLE MATTS are more ideas for "find it games." Find it games helps to focus his energy so that you can encourage, and reward positive behavior. KONGS and DOG PUZZELS, more ideas for excellent "find it" games. These are what he enjoys doing in his down time or in his crate. LOOK AT ME: To do this, do not say his name or make a noise, just wait him out. When you see Milo's eyes look at your face for even a quarter second, say your marker "yes!!" or use clicker. Give him a treat, move a couple of feet away and repeat. Doing this daily will benefit him in simple training ENRICHMENT: This is very important, this is a good way to make milo want to take you seriously and work with you- it helps to get over that adjustment "bump" of Milo getting into a new environment and become overstimulated with no outlets to go to. Milo is muzzled trained and learning to be crate trained. Milo is house broken and enjoys cuddles and belly rubs! Milo will not do well in a condo or apartment setting; he will need a house with a fenced area to play. Using these tools, Milo has completely turned around and has become a lovely dog! He will be a project but has so much potential! He has won over the hearts of many staff and volunteers, who just want to see Milo go to an amazing loving home! If you would like to get to know Milo or have any other questions, please contact the shelter info@uppercredit.com or 519.833.2287

He has come such a long way and would love to meet you! King does have some resource guarding with food and will need to be managed. He just needs to know what is expected of him and then he works well with you. He will take food nicely from hand when told gentle - has been improving so much at the shelter - Giving the command leave it and then taking things away works best with him or trading for with other treats/objects works well too! He is still learning but coming along so nicely! King is very intelligent! Once he knows what is expected of him, he will work with you and make it in his routine.He needs to be socialize with other dogs - He has never been around cats, would not recommend cats, and no small children - He is not aggressive, he's just not careful.He loves wandering around outside with you outside- so having a fenced in area would benefit him. Using a long lead would work best for recall training. He is a lot of fun and has so much potential when given the chance!
