Slade

Meet Slade! This handsome chocolate Lab is just shy of 2 years old and boasts striking ember eyes. Slade is an energetic boy with a drive that could blossom into something truly special with the right guidance. He shines in one-on-one settings, showing impressive focus and a clear eagerness to engage. However, when distractions arise, his playful, puppy-like nature takes over – he’s young, enthusiastic, and still learning to channel all that energy appropriately. Slade is looking for a special family experienced with working breeds and their high energy levels.

Ideal Home

Slade would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training and clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and structured activities. An experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Slade's leash manners are decent but will need continued work on his heel command. He knows "sit" and "down," especially with treats, though he can show a bit of a stubborn streak. With consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training, Slade has the potential to grow into an incredible companion.
