Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). OTHER PETS: Carlos is a big boy with a soft soul; he is timid with pushy dogs, tolerant of being jumped on, and is comfortable just sniffing around with another easy-going dog nearby. However, he has been reactive towards dogs that aggress toward him. He would likely get along with other relaxed dogs, and should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption to help ensure a good fit. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Carlos is a sweet dog who needs the support of an experienced guardian and positive reinforcement to help him learn skills for his new home. He can be mouthy which is soft, partially because his huge mouth seems to be open all the time, but now is the perfect time to teach bite inhibition (the fun ends breifly when teeth make contact with skin) to help him learn teeth and skin don't go together. [Very Experienced] KIDS: Carlos is still playfully jumpy and big enough to accidently knock over some of our smaller staff members, he should not live in a home with children. [Adults Only - No Exceptions] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Carlos enjoys toys and interacting with humans, he will likely enjoy walks but is a strong puller and needs help learning loose-leash walking skills with positive reinforcement and a patient guardian. Carlos entertains himself with toys and enjoys being social with people. With Practice, positive reinforcement, regular exercise, and plenty of mental enrichment, his needs will be met and he will be a nice companion for outings and adventures. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Carlos bond with his new owner as well as help him learn important life skills. Leash skills in particular will need positive reinforcement and lots of practice due to his strength, but he is a happy and engaged learner. [Intense]
