Meet Slade! This handsome chocolate Lab is just shy of 2 years old and has striking ember eyes and a drive that could become something truly special in the right hands. Slade 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. His leash manners are decent, but he’ll 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. With consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training, Slade has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion.
