Hunter Henry's Story

Hunter Henry is an adorable 3-month-old German Shepherd mix with bright eyes, big paws, and a big personality. He’s smart, curious, and full of puppy energy. Because he’s so young and eager to learn, training should begin as soon as he comes home. Shepherd mixes pick up habits quickly, so consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement will be essential to help him grow into a well-mannered adult. Breed experience is strongly recommended, as German Shepherd mixes require confident, knowledgeable handling and ongoing structure. Hunter Henry is currently a nippy boy, which is normal at this age, but adopters will need to work on redirecting that behavior with appropriate chew toys and by teaching bite inhibition. He will also need early guidance around food guarding to build positive associations and prevent the behavior from escalating. As an intelligent, active puppy, he’ll need plenty of enrichment and mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, training sessions, sniffing games, and interactive play will help keep him engaged. Without enough structure and stimulation, puppies can become bored quickly, so keeping both his mind and body busy will be key to his success.
