Story
OTHER PETS: Balto enjoys other dogs and engages well with them even if there is a size difference (he loves the little ones!) Balto also stays relaxed and does not engage when other dogs are too pushy. He would likely do well with another dog of a similarly relaxed yet playful attitude. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Balto is a friendly and outgoing dog who presents as having experience with some skills (knows sit & paw, walks well on leash, takes treats gently.) He is also a big dog whose ideal person is experienced with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn, (and currently capable of) handling physically strong dogs. [Very Experienced]KIDS: Balto enjoys being outside and is playful with a variety of toys, he solicits attention from humans and dogs and shows his excitement with bounces. He would likely get along with most humans, but because he is uncomfortable with being touched around his back legs and he is a bouncy large dog his best fit would be with humans who were able to play with him and respect his boundaries. [10+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Balto enjoys spending a lot of time outside (his double coat keeps him comfortable in the snow) his ideal home would have a safe space for him to spend lots of time outside. While at TJO Balto has always been ready for a walk or to spend time in an outdoor run playing with toys & enjoying the snow. He would do well with a combination of regular exercise & mental stimulation such as playtime, tricks, and food puzzles, and time to enjoy the outdoors. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Balto bond with his new owner as well as learn new skills and fun tricks while building confidence. [Moderate]GROOMING: Routine brushing will keep Balto's coat clean and matt-free; when double coated dogs blow their coats sometimes their owners choose to have a professional groomer assist.
