Canelo

Meet Canelo, Again<br/><br/>Age: 2 years<br/>Location: Sapulpa<br/>Neutered: Yes<br/><br/>Canelo is a VERY sweet, high-energy Belgian Malinois with a huge heart and an even bigger drive to work and play. He is incredibly affectionate, loves his people, and will happily lean in for pets any chance he gets. Toys-especially squeaky ones-are his absolute favorite and one of the best ways to engage and bond with him. <br/><br/>Canelo was recently adopted and returned since unfortunately his adopter was unable to give him the structure and the time he needed. This was not a failure on Canelo's part. He is a higher drive dog who requires consistency, leadership, and follow-through. Without that, he will test your boundaries! <br/><br/>The good news? Canelo has completed a 2-week board and train with JPK9 Oklahoma and has a strong foundation in place work, heeling, basic obedience and neutrality in public. He can attend weekly group classes and has access to 1:1 touch-up sessions as needed for the life of the dog! He is both food and toy motivated, making him highly trainable in the right hands.<br/><br/>He would thrive as a running, hiking, working, or sport partner. Hiking is one of his favorite things to do! He needs an active home that understands the Malinois breed and is committed to continued training and structure.<br/><br/>At the Veteran's Day parade, Canelo happily accepted lots of pets from kids and adults alike. Because he is enthusiastic and powerful, he would likely do best in a home with older or bigger kids who can handle his energy.<br/><br/>Canelo is dog neutral with a confident handler and with the guidance of his trainers (especially when his mind is focused on obedience and working). He did do well with a small chihuahua so it is a possibility to have him in the home with a small dog (depending on the individual dog) <br/><br/>He has not yet been tested with cats. <br/><br/>Canelo is approved for the Battle Buddies program and would make an incredible partner for a veteran ready to invest in him. <br/><br/>This boy is loyal, driven, affectionate, and full of potential - but he needs a committed, capable handler who will follow through.<br/><br/>If you're ready for a smart, high-energy working dog and understand what that truly means:<br/><br/>Adopt: oklahomagsr.org/adopt<br/>Foster: oklahomagsr.org/foster<br/>Battle Buddies: oklahomagsr.org/battle-buddies
