Training & Support
Maximus is crate trained, house trained, and knows "sit." He is currently polishing up on other commands through positive reinforcement. He experiences separation anxiety when left alone, but will go into his crate; he just prefers when his people are close. He has had challenges living with other dogs, showing reactivity and protectiveness that has led to escalating tension and fights with the resident dog. While his guardian has worked with a trainer, this behavior has not resolved. He needs a guardian who can provide him with consistent enrichment, patient guidance, and lots of affection.
