FERNANDO SPENT TIME AT A FOSTER. PLEASE SEE FOSTER FEEDBACK BELOW!
Nando (as we call him) is very sweet. He loves, loves, loves belly rubs.
NO CATS!!
As you know from the 2 beds he obliterated, he is a prolific chewer so we always have chew toys for him. Yesterday, I got him a squeaky lamb that he loves. I also got him an orthopedic bed for the crate for him to sleep on that he really loves. He did not chew it up and laid on it even when the crate door is open.
His behavior has improved greatly. He does not jump nearly as much as he did when he first came home. That being said, he is a little mouthy (not with bad intent) and after playing with him for 10-15 minutes, he gets worked up and jumps and has nipped/scratched me numerous times. We really need to work on that.
He has decompressed and seems very happy.
No possessiveness with toys or food (but he is the only dog in the home and hasn't been tested with other dogs around his toys)
He is very smart, a quick learner and very protective.
So far he has "met" several dogs in the neighborhood and has gotten along very well with all of them. So, that is good.
He went in the pool once and seemed to really enjoy it but hasn't gone back in and I haven't tried to get him to go in.
We took him to breakfast yesterday. He did well despite the over stimulation.
He is fully house broken. Other than peeing on my son's bed (no idea why he did that), he has had zero accidents.
He is not allowed on the furniture and is pretty good about that.
On walks, he will pull if he sees something he wants to chase, like a squirrel. He is strong, so an older person should not walk him. He also is on a mission to find things to eat when he walks. I am constantly taking stuff out of his mouth (he lets me put my hands in his mouth with no problem).
Also, he only barks when he is protecting our house. Otherwise, he is quiet.
When meeting new people, we will restrain him on a leash and let him greet the people and keep him from jumping up on them and introductions are done inside the home. Strangers need to be introduced as friends. Otherwise he barks and is protective. Once introduced, he is ok.
