Meet Django!
Django is a bright, two-year-old mixed breed with a sleek black coat and white accents. He's a smart, active companion who weighs around 50 pounds. Django forms deep bonds with his people and celebrates their return home with enthusiasm! He is a thoughtful dog who loves to cuddle and lean in for affection once he feels comfortable and safe. Adventure is also very important to him; he absolutely loves toys of all kinds and enjoys games of fetch, walks, runs, and swimming. He'll proudly carry a stick or ball during walks, as if it's his special job! Django is intelligent and enjoys training, already knowing many cues like sit, stay, down, come, heel, place, leave it, drop it, no bark, and ok. Practicing these skills 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. He needs an active family who understands reactive dogs and enjoys training.
Ongoing Health
Django currently takes daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety.
Training & Support
Django experiences fear-based reactivity in certain situations, such as 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. He also has a history of resource guarding with another dog around food, toys, or personal space, and there was one minor nip incident with an unfamiliar person. Meeting guests outside first and allowing him to warm up helps him feel secure. With structure, exercise, and patient guidance, he continues to grow in confidence.
