Story
MEET FRANKY!! Franky is full of life and love! He loves to play, loves to cuddle, go on walks/runs, and and hangout with you. He's a goofy boy, but very obedient. He's already leash trained and knows basic commands!! Franky loves to lounge, he will even watch TV with you! He is fully housebroken AND crate trained! He likes to chase birds and catch flies. He responds quick to commands and learns quickly...and would do great with someone interested in teaching him new commands, tricks and skills. He enjoys playing with water from a hose, but not yet sure how he feels about actually swimming in a pool. Franky appears to be dog-selective, so intros will need to be done slowly and properly and we suggest with the assistance of the Trainer. No intros with cats yet, so that will be an unknown until intros can be done. Given Franky's insecurity and fearfulness, we believe a home with no kids would also be best. We are unsure how that would affect his stress or confidence levels. Note: FRANKY NEEDS AN EXPERIENCED ADOPTER. He needs to be acclimated slowly with a calm, consistent environment, among dog savvy individuals able to read dog behavior and who are familiar with fearful dogs. No strangers, family members, kids, neighbors, etc coming into the home or yard for several weeks until Franky has learned to feel safe and trust. Kennel training is a must----from the get-go, on Day One. (Games such as Tug of War and such will NOT be suitable and a no-go as it brings anxiety, stress and confusion as to the feeling of safety/security/hierarchy for the dog.) Kenneling should also continue to be followed when anyone unknown to the dog comes into the home, even after 3-3-3 decompression has been completed. Our trainer will perform intros with him in the boarding facility and professional Training with the trainer will be provided by the Rescue to make Franky's transition an easy one, and remove much of the stress of a new environment, with new people. Additional sessions can be available going forward as needed, for insecurity/lack of confidence. Our goal is to set this pup UP FOR SUCCESS, the right way, straight out of the gate!
