i needs more, extended physical activity time than his current owners can provide at their age.
First and foremost, Kai is friendly to all humans and dogs he has encountered. He is a classic "velcro dog," wanting to be within sight or touching distance of one of his people at all times. He is crate trained, house broken (he rings a bell near the door to go out), non-destructive of household items. He loves to play tug-of-war, chase thrown toys, go for walks and rides in the car. Several times a day he will flop on his back, seeking belly rubs.
Kai is not reactive to animals or people while on a lead. He is highly food motivated and responds very positively to training. His training has included loose leash work and the beginning of off-leash recall. He knows basic commands, including "Kennel," to which he always responds by going to his crate and staying with an open door. He wants and needs to run and "romp and stomp" more than his owners can physically accommodate.
Kai has very rarely been left alone at home, and then only for a couple of hours while they shop, see a doctor, etc. Those times, he is in his crate, with toys and water. He is, of course, wildly enthusiastic upon his people’s return. Kai embarks on daily Zoomies......enough said.
He wants to sleep with or very near to his people, usually in direct physical contact with one of us whenever possible.
Kai is reactive to TV ads/programs with animals or certain "excitable" scenes. He lunges at the tv and barks. He responds to a water spray bottle and command to stop. He will occasionally pull on his lead to investigate something, but that has been greatly reduced with his training program.
He is very protective of "found/stolen" treasures. When he finds something that he considers to be high value, but shouldn’t have, he is directed to his "Kennel," where he trades treats for his treasure, and that usually works.
