Meet Django!
Django is a bright, two-year-old mixed breed with a sleek black coat and white accents. He's about 50 pounds and possesses a thoughtful, curious nature. Django is a smart, active companion who forms deep bonds with his people, celebrating their return with enthusiastic joy. He's a cuddler who leans in for affection and enjoys curling up for a nap once he feels comfortable and safe.
Adventure is also a big part of Django's life. He loves toys of all kinds and enjoys games of fetch. Walks, runs, and swimming are all activities he relishes, and he proudly carries sticks and balls during his walks, as if it's his important job. His intelligence shines through in his enjoyment of training and learning new cues. Django already knows sit, stay, down, come, heel, place, leave it, drop it, no bark, and ok as a release cue. Practicing these with positive reinforcement keeps his mind engaged and happy.
Ideal Home
Django would thrive in a quieter, child-free and cat-free home, likely as the only dog. 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, feeling uncertain around unfamiliar noises, unexpected distractions, or dogs encountered on leash. He requires thoughtful management in public and benefits from a predictable routine and continued behavior support from an experienced pet parent. He has a history of resource guarding with another dog around food, toys, or personal space. Meeting guests outside first and allowing him to warm up helps him feel secure.
