He isn’t looking for a casual roommate; he needs an experienced handler who understands that structure and consistency are the keys to his success.<br/><br/>The Charlie Profile:<br/>Age: ~2 years old (The best age for training!)<br/>Vibe: Smart, athletic, and very eager to please.<br/>Social: Great with other dogs! <br/>Family: Best with older kids (he’s still working on his impulse control!).<br/>The Work: Needs a leader who understands and can manage resource guarding with a positive, structured approach. <br/><br/>He’s waited long enough.
