Stryder's Story

Hi Everyone! My name is Stryder but I prefer “Stry Guy” because then I know I am not in trouble. A lucky guy, I spent 9 months with my last family, They absolutely adored me, but they had to return me to MAGSR when the older male in the house and I could not get along. I was fabulous with the resident female dog. This was a difficult decision for all of us; however, my family knew that MAGSR would take care of me and ensure that I found an incredible forever family. <br/><br/>In dog years, I am a teenager so, I have been building a good foundation, but I still have plenty to learn. For example, I love the water - squirt guns, hoses, lakes – but I am a big boy and I'm still fine tuning my understanding of which water is for play and which is not. According to my people, the water dish isn't a tiny pond for my enjoyment. I'm still not convinced they are correct. When not enjoying water time, I am beyond happy to dive into the toy bin and play. I adore chew toys like antlers and tough stuffed animals. I try to remember that the squeaky parts stay inside the toy, but sometimes their removal is simply too tempting and those squeaky parts accidently fall out. If you want to play with me, you are always welcome. I like to play fetch and I'm always ready for a game of tug of war as long as clear boundaries are set. Fortunate to have begun training class, I am a shiny star in obedience school. In my previous home, I was participating in two classes a week to prepare for intermediate obedience classes. I was also on track to pass my Canine Good Citizen class. I love going to class because I can ride in the car, learn new things, and get lots of treats. Continued training is what they call "critical to my success." As I can be a little nervous in new situations, they tell me it will help me continue to build confidence, I also think it will help me better understand my new family.
