Leroy Poodle Mix Pekin, IL

Leroy is an estimated 2 years old and 17 pounds of sass. Leroy can easily get overstimulated and does not know how to settle himself down so needs a committed owner to work on training and giving him quiet time when he gets too excited. He will snap or nip when asking him to do something that he doesn't want to do and can be a resource guarder. An owner will need to work with him on positive reinforcement and rewarding him with high value treats to get him to see things your way. He does well with laid back dogs but does not tolerate them in his face. He needs an adult only quiet home that will give him the time he needs to be to become the dog we know he can be.
