ADOPT ME BECAUSE:
Aiden is doing well living with my 2 preschool age kids. Not scared of their quick, unpredictable movements or loudness. He does puppy bites, but easily redirects to toys. He loves other dogs and plays well. He is responding to signals from more dominant dogs when they are done playing with him.

Unknown with cats, but does chase squirrels.

Aiden is very food motivated. He knows sit command, "wait and "gentle. Working on stay and down, as well as leash training. Takes treats nicely. Potty training is in the works and he isn't having many accidents and seems to know to go to the back door when he needs to go out.

Aiden likes going for walks, playing fetch and getting lots of snuggles. He wants to be near his people. He has puppy energy, but it is in spurts and as long as you play with him or he plays with another dog he settles quickly. When everyone in the house calms down, so does he. He sleeps through the night without accidents.

He will go into the crate with a treat, but does not hang out in there willingly but calms down once you leave.
He has a solid bark when he wants attention so may not be good for an apartment.
