ATTI - CHIHUAHUA / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed. Atti is a very playful young dog. He loves toys and is highly praise-motivated. He loves people and other dogs. Energy Level? High House trained? About 90% Describe how they are on a leash? Amazing. Atti walks to the left and one step behind. The only time he needs correction is if he gets excited to see another dog. However, if you say his name he gets back to heel. Describe how they are with other dogs? Overall good. He is young and full of energy, so he sometimes annoys the resident middle-aged dog. There was only one tiff over chew sticks. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? unknown Commands they know? Nothing 100%, but he seems to know "No," "Leave it," "Down," and "Off." He responds to them about 60-70% of the time, and I know he could learn other things easily with time and focus. What are their favorite things? He loves toys, playing fetch, and curling up under a blanket on the couch. And in general, just positive attention. What do they need to work on? Atti will take things off the tables if he can reach them. He is also a chewer. He hasn't chewed anything he isn't supposed to, but he will need chews and toys. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He's been left alone for a few hours at a time in an exercise pen. He has a little separation anxiety and does cry at least when I leave and when he hears you come home until you let him out. Where do they sleep? In an exercise pen in another room. On the first couple of nights, he cried for about an hour, but since then, he has settled in easily. I know he would love to sleep in the room with you if you'd allow it. What is their ideal home? Atti loves attention and is high-energy. He'd do well in a home with one or more people who could spend a lot of time with him playing, going on multiple walks, and even just hanging out. He does like other dogs and will play with them as well.
