Bear

Hi, My name is Bear, I am a black and tan medium sized mixed breed dog and cute as a button! I am just over two years old and weigh about 27 lbs. Everyone who meets me tells me how sweet I am and that they just love me! I tried really hard to be a hearing dog, but it turns out I'm a bit too sensitive to sounds and I take some time to warm up to new people, so I've decided that's just not the life for me. I'd rather be a part of a family and spend my days playing and snuggling!<br/><br/>I've already learned the cues Sit, Down, Touch, Get Dressed, Go Potty, Wait at doorways, Leave it, and Come. I'm pretty reliable inside an enclosed area or home, but I haven’t had much off leash outdoor practice. I am working on longer Stays but do well with little distractions. When I'm done with my cue, my person says "Release!" and I know that I am free to go about my business. I even walk well on a leash and if I do scoot ahead of you, I do not pull, especially when I have my front clip body harness on. Check me out in the video learning to file my own nails by scratching them on a sand board! I'm looking forward to continuing training classes with my new family so we can learn even more together!<br/><br/>A nice long petting session makes me soo happy, so if I roll over on my back don’t be afraid to rub my tummy! I love down time where I can come curl up next to you and relax. Chillin’ next to my person with my head rested on them is on my list of favorite things to do daily! I love leaning on my person and being close.<br/><br/>I'm small but mighty and like to start each day with a fun activity like hopping in the back of a car and heading to a nice trail for a long walk or running around the back yard with you. I'll play with toys with you or by myself, but I really like to go outside and explore on walks. I love to play with other dogs of all different breeds. Chasing, being chased, wrestling around and tug-o-war are all parts of play that I can’t get enough of. <br/><br/>If you want a forever friend that will cuddle and play with you and every dog we meet, then I’m your guy!
