About Trapper

Affectionately called "Dorito Ears," Trapper is a very smart pup who knows common commands and would love to learn more from you! His favorite things in the world are discovering balls in the yard and his friends. This cuddle bug would like a medium/active energy owner who enjoys walks or can include him in their gardening time. He can entertain himself with balls and toys while you garden, but will check in occasionally to ensure you know he's still your garden pal. Trapper is treat-motivated and dog-selective, meaning he can be friends with other dogs with proper introductions. He trusts the humans he knows and will slowly warm up to strangers. Once he's had a chance to burn off some energy, Trapper is content relaxing, seeking pets, napping, and playing with his toys. He also loves to snuggle! Trapper is house-trained and rides well in the car. He's a very smart cookie who loves puzzle games and will thrive with an active person who will engage his body and his brain.

Unique quirks include a fear of sizzling cooking noises, curiosity about the dishwasher, and an aversion to vacuum sounds. He tends to gather most of his toys into a designated safe space for naps or eating. Trapper knows the words "home," "find it," and "inside," as well as "up/down" and understands "Let's go/walkie." He has a strong "sit" command, and "lay down" is still being worked on.
