Still learning leash manners

Smokey has also shown that he really bonds closely with "his perso

Smokey has also shown that he really bonds closely with "his person" and can become protective of them and his space. Because of that, he would do best as the only pet in the home where he doesn't feel like he has to compete for attention or resources.

He's a sensitive boy who can startle with loud noises, so he'll need a home that can give him structure, consistency, and clear boundaries.
