Dog Friendly: He's enjoyed the company of other dogs and loves a good playmate. He has done well with a medium-sized female, although he has shown some resource guarding of his person in certain situations. Cat Friendly: He gets along with cats, although he can get a little overexcited because he'd really like them to play with him!

He's learned fun tasks such as tucking under someone's legs while seated, providing deep-pressure contact, and working with cortisol samples for anxiety-related alerts.

He's also a good sport for nail trims and even tolerates an electric Dremel when treats are involved. Baths? Well, let's just say those aren't his favorite spa treatment! What Prince Needs in His Forever Home Prince will do best with someone who understands dogs, appreciates training, and is willing to continue building on the skills he already has. A few important things for his future family: He needs individual introductions to anyone entering the home. Without a proper introduction, he may become protective of his space and people. Small children not recommended, only older teens and up would be best suited for him. He has done well with other dogs but may guard his person in certain situations. A well-socialized, respectful canine companion could be a wonderful match with thoughtful introductions and management. He can become overexcited during high-energy activities and may nip when running alongside a bike. His foster recommends using his muzzle for these outings. Continued leash training and good handling skills are important. A secure physical fence is recommended. His foster has not experienced jumping or digging, but supervision is still important. Prince's foster recommends using a crate or separated area of the vehicle for car rides. He can bolt when car doors open, so careful door management and a reliable sit-and-stay routine are essential. ❤️ Why Prince? Because this boy has so much to offer! He's clever, affectionate, eager to learn, and happiest when he's part of someone's world. He can be your training partner, your adventure buddy, your couch companion, and the dog who follows you from room to room just because being near you is where he wants to be. Prince needs a family willing to understand his boundaries, continue his education, and appreciate the incredible connection that comes with a dog who truly wants to work with his person. He's got the brains, the heart, and the personality. Now he just needs his kingdom—and someone special to share it with! This fabulous foster is a Doberman Rescue Minnesota foster dog.
