are and a big personality to match. He’s looking for an active human who wants a true adventure buddy and understands that a dog like Buzz needs more than a couple of quick walks around the block. He wants to DO things!
Long walks, hiking, exploring, fetch in a fenced yard, training classes, scent work, agility… Buzz is ready to clock in! His ideal home will give him plenty of physical exercise and opportunities to use his busy brain.
Because when Buzz doesn't have an appropriate outlet for all that energy, he can get a little antsy — and a bored Buzz is not necessarily the Buzz you want running the meeting.
Buzz can take a little time to warm up to new people, but luckily, he has discovered one of life's greatest shortcuts to friendship: FOOD.
He is incredibly treat motivated, which makes building trust and working on training both easier and fun. Once Buzz decides you're his person, you've got yourself a loyal best friend for life. He bonds deeply with his people and loves being by their side.
Buzz + Other Animals Buzz has reportedly lived with cats and did well with them. His previous home reported that he would simply ignore the cats and even allowed them to rub against him.
Since becoming a Diamond, Buzz has also spent time around several social dogs and has done well. He can be a little rough-and-tumble when playing, but he's also perfectly capable of peacefully coexisting with other dogs when it's not playtime.
Because Buzz is currently working through some pent-up energy and continuing to build his social skills, we feel a home without young children is the best fit for him right now.
Buzz + Training Buzz is a smart guy who needs structure, consistency, and clear expectations. He's already completed a board-and-train program working on manners and social skills and did great with handlers he knew and trusted. Like many young, energetic dogs, though, new environments can be challenging. When he's surrounded by unfamiliar sights, sounds, smells, and distractions, Buzz can lose focus and become a little... bossy.
His ideal human will be someone who is willing to continue his training, give him clear direction, and lovingly hold him accountable. Buzz doesn't need someone who expects him to figure everything out on his own — he needs someone who will show him the way and consistently follow through.
His adoption will include follow-up sessions with his current trainer, so his new family will have support as they continue building on everything Buzz has learned.
And now for the really important stuff…
