He might even enjoy agility once he builds confidence with new environments.<br/><br/>In the house, he’ll play fetch and enjoys Kong-style toys. Sofas and chairs were once suspicious, but now? Prime cuddle real estate.<br/><br/>What He’s Working On<br/><br/>Ryder is a good boy who just needs a little polishing in a few areas:<br/><br/>- Leash walking: He’s a bit of a puller but does well on a harness (once it’s on — he pancakes a little during the dressing process).<br/>- Stay/Wait: Solid in the car, still learning to generalize in the yard or house.<br/>- Recall: Pretty good — unless there are chickens in a coop. Chickens are... fascinating.<br/>- Fetch in the yard: Chase? Yes. Return? Optional.<br/><br/>He can be a little cautious meeting new people but warms up quickly with treats. He has not been tested in a home with cats or kids yet. At the vet, he observed cats without reacting, but slow introductions would be best in any new home.<br/><br/>He does best with a slow feeder bowl because meals are his favorite sport.<br/><br/>The Perfect Home for Ryder<br/><br/>Ryder would thrive with someone who:<br/><br/>- Enjoys a loyal companion at their side<br/>- Is willing to continue his training (he’s eager and food-motivated!)<br/>- Appreciates a dog with both playfulness and couch-snuggling talent<br/><br/>Ryder is ready to meet his forever family. If you’re looking for a steady, affectionate, slightly goofy best friend who will ride shotgun, sniff every trail, and cuddle like it’s his full-time job — Ryder is your guy.<br/><br/>Ryder is being fostered in the Wichita, KS area.Click here to watch a video of Ryder.
