Django is a bright, two-year-old mixed breed with a sleek black coat and white accents. He's a thoughtful and curious boy who weighs about 50 pounds. Django is an active and intelligent companion who forms deep bonds with his people, celebrating their return home with enthusiasm! He loves to cuddle and lean in for affection once he feels comfortable and safe, but he also thrives on adventure. Django adores toys of all kinds, especially for games of fetch. He enjoys walks, runs, and swimming, and he proudly carries his favorite stick or ball during walks. He also excels in training, knowing cues like sit, stay, down, come, heel, place, leave it, drop it, no bark, and ok. Positive reinforcement training keeps his mind engaged and happy.
Ideal Home
Django would thrive in a quieter home environment, free of children and cats. He would likely do best as the only dog in the household. An active family who understands reactive dogs and enjoys training would be ideal for him.
Ongoing Health
Django currently takes daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety.
Training & Support
Django experiences fear-based reactivity in certain situations, such as unfamiliar noises, unexpected distractions, or other dogs on leash. He also has a history of resource guarding with another dog around food, toys, or personal space, and there was one minor nip incident involving an unfamiliar person. He benefits from thoughtful management in public, a predictable routine, and continued behavior support. Meeting guests outside first and allowing him to warm up helps him feel secure. With structure, exercise, and patient guidance, he continues to grow in confidence.
