Zen got his nickname because he’s generally very chilled-out, relaxed and just wanting to hang out with his humans. He’s definitely a “Velcro-Dog” who will follow his humans wherever they go, wanting to be part of the action. However, as easily as Zen can be cool, calm and collected, he can also Pep Up and be ready for outdoor fun or playing with another dog or two! Zen is very sweet and snuggly. He will want to be close to you if you’ll let him cuddle on the sofa or bed, but he really likes to sleep on the floor closest to the door He’s taking that position as though he’s guarding his flock Zen knows a few basic commands but he will welcome the chance to learn more, especially if there are treats involved! He’s very food-motivated and will perform for both treats and lots of praise. Zen is good on leash-walks; he really doesn’t pull and instead looks to his human to lead the way. He’s not confrontational with other dogs and would really enjoy a supervised dog park or a canine companion to hang with at home. Zen is very quiet most of the time, however when he wants to communicate you’ll hear him talk to you very excitedly. He doesn’t like to be left behind but if he whines it is only for a very short time. Zen is crate-trained and housebroken. When we rescued him he had only known life in a crate. His owners were Seniors and for whatever reason they kept their dogs in crates indoors much of the time. We welcomed the chance to transition Zen from constant-crate time to life on the outside He has really loved spending time with all people and other dog pals. Zen has a very moderate energy level of 5-6 out of 10 most of the time. He will be as active as you want him to be but is also content with leisurely walks and play time. Zen would be fine as an only-dog as long as his human is not leaving him all day every day. We would love a home where someone works out of the house, has a backyard to explore and either another submissive male or female similar-sized companion. Zen needs a human or humans who have patience introducing him to the whole, wide world. He’s progressed beautifully since we got him and is ready for the right Aussie-Experienced forever home.
