Meet Sunny!
Sunny is a handsome 9-year-old, 70lb neutered pittie mix who brings joy everywhere he goes. He's a playful, goofy boy with a huge heart and an infectious enthusiasm for life. Whether he's giving kisses, showing off his tricks, or playing with his favorite toys, Sunny is happiest when he's spending time with his people. Sunny has been living with a professional trainer and has an excellent foundation in obedience. He knows commands like sit, down, stay, place, and several fun movement tricks. He's fully house-trained, crate trained, and settles nicely in his kennel at night for 6-8 hours at a time. Because he's so food motivated, he's eager to learn and enjoys continuing his training.
Ideal Home
Sunny has a moderate energy level and would love a home that enjoys daily walks, playtime, and including him in family activities. He walks well on a loose leash, although he can become excited when he sees other dogs and may pull or lunge in his eagerness to say hello. With calm guidance and redirection, he quickly refocuses. He would do best with older, dog-savvy children (10+) who can help reinforce good manners and respect his boundaries. Sunny's ideal home is an active family or couple who will continue his training, provide structure, and shower him with the love and affection he thrives on.
Ongoing Health
No ongoing health conditions are noted in Sunny's description.
Training & Support
Sunny is eager to learn and enjoys continuing his training, especially due to his food motivation. He can get mouthy when he's excited and needs reinforcement of good manners and respect for his boundaries. When it comes to other dogs, he plays enthusiastically and doesn't always recognize when another dog is ready for a break. Slow, proper introductions and continued guidance are important. He doesn't love every dog he meets, so finding the right canine companion is important. While he'd do well with a balanced, tolerant dog, he'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only.
