Ideal Home

Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are noted in the description.
Training & Support
Maximus is crate trained, house trained, and knows basic commands like "sit." He is currently working on polishing other commands through positive reinforcement. While he experiences separation anxiety when left alone, he will willingly go into his crate. He flourishes with structure, routine, and lots of human connection. He has shown reactivity and protective behavior towards other dogs, leading to escalated tension and fights. Because of this, he would benefit from a guardian who can provide him with consistent enrichment and patient guidance.
