Slade

Meet Slade! This handsome chocolate Lab is just shy of 2 years old and possesses striking ember eyes and an eagerness to please that could make him an incredible companion in the right home. Slade truly excels in one-on-one settings, showing impressive focus and a clear desire to engage. While he's still a young boy who can get excited and a bit playful with distractions, he's learning to channel his energy appropriately. He knows "sit" and "down," especially when treats are involved, and his leash manners are pretty good, though continued work on his heel command would be beneficial. With consistent training, structure, and positive reinforcement, Slade has all the potential to blossom into a truly remarkable member of the family.

Ideal Home

Slade would thrive in an active home with an experienced handler who understands the needs of high-energy, working-drive dogs. He needs a family ready to provide consistent training, clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, and mental stimulation through structured activities.

Ongoing Health

No specific ongoing health conditions are mentioned in his description.

Training & Support

Slade will need continued work on his heel command. He can sometimes show a stubborn streak, so consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training methods are key to his success.
