Slade

Meet Slade! This handsome chocolate Lab is just shy of 2 years old and has striking ember eyes. Slade is an energetic boy looking for a special family experienced with working breeds and their high energy levels. He truly shines in one-on-one settings, where his focus is impressive and his eagerness to engage is clear. Add in a few distractions, though, and his playful, puppy-like nature still takes over—he’s young, enthusiastic, and still learning to channel all that energy appropriately. Slade has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion with consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training.

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, and an experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs.

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 when treats are involved, though he can show a bit of a stubborn streak. He will require continued training efforts and understanding.
