As is typical of Golden- doodles,<br/>Oakley<br/>is needy and loves attention. He lived in an apartment, so he was always either in a crate or<br/><br/>on leash.<br/><br/>Oakley<br/><br/>had been enrolled in a 2-week board-and-train program by his original owner, so he had been taught sit, stay, down, come, heel. But when exposed to another dog, he forgot all that and just wanted to play. One of the resident dogs in the first home we placed him in just could not accept<br/><br/>Oakley’s<br/><br/>enthusiastic personality. So,we moved him to a foster couple's home for fostering. They love the Doodles – they’ve adopted two from<br/><br/>AGR<br/><br/>and have fostered several for us. They really liked<br/><br/>Oakley<br/><br/>! The foster mom said:<br/><br/>He is so sweet and loving and not an aggressive bone in his body. Loves other dogs and people. He has lots of puppy energy but loves walks and running around the yard with<br/><br/>Bentley<br/><br/>or chasing balls. He’s sleeping in a crate in our room and goes right in, zero issues. No inappropriate chewing issues but he loves to destroy stuffed animals. He’s a cuddler!<br/><br/>An adoptive family in Surprise agreed to take a chance on<br/><br/>Oakley<br/><br/>. They had previously ac<br/><br/>cepted<br/>23-007 Ziggy<br/>as a foster.<br/>Ziggy<br/>is quite a bit smaller than<br/>Oakley<br/>, whom they renamed<br/>Obi<br/>, but he is fearless and not intimidated with<br/>Obi’s<br/>larger size. The adoptive mom reported that<br/>Obi<br/>would get over-riled up when playing and was exhibiting typical untrained puppy behaviors such as nipping and ignoring commands. So we<br/><br/>asked the vet to evaluate the behaviors. She then prescribed fluoxetine, an anti-anxiety med, which has helped. We also referred the family to work with a recommended behaviorist and the situation has improved remarkably with the behaviorist's assistance.
