Hi, I'm Chili!

Slowly coming out of my shell - playtime is starting to be my thing!
Treats? I'll take them right from your hand (progress, right?)
Still not a huge fan of petting... but I'm working on it
Yep, I do chew beds and other things... guilty as charged
Toy protector? Sometimes... but getting better
Food protective? Much improved!
Big dogs can be intimidating - I take my time but once comfortably I do like to play.
Cats? Not my fans... I bark at first, but I don't chase

I'm playful, making progress every day, and just looking for someone patient who can celebrate my wins with me!

As a puppy, I am required to go to training within 90 days of my adoption with a certified trainer.
