Meet Slade, a handsome chocolate Lab with striking ember eyes and a drive that could become something truly special in the right hands. At just under 2 years old, Slade is a bundle of energy looking for an experienced family who understands the needs of working breeds and their high energy levels. He truly shines in one-on-one settings, showing impressive focus and an eagerness to engage. While his youthful exuberance can sometimes take over in distracting environments, consistent training and positive reinforcement will help him channel his energy appropriately. Slade’s leash manners are decent, and he knows commands like "sit" and "down," especially when treats are involved. With the right guidance, he has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion.
Ideal Home
Slade would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training and clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, and mental stimulation with structured activities. An experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs is essential for him to reach his full potential.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Slade is still learning to channel his energy appropriately and will need continued work on his heel command. He can show a bit of a stubborn streak, so consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training are recommended.
