Styx's Story

Styx is nervous initially but he likes people so if you let him come to you (instead of reaching at/over him first) you will find he is much happier to greet you. Styx does not like fast movements or loud noises - he is a little insecure and seeks reassurance from people he trusts. Because he is nervous, he might submissively urinate if you reach for him too fast, but as he gains confidence and builds trust in people, that behavior will go away.<br/><br/>Styx will need a calm environment and a steady routine. He may need extra time to adjust because he can be nervous, but should be okay with almost any adults (or older children). Styx will submissive urinate when nervous but with the right kind of training that will disappear. Crate training is recommended for house training a dog or puppy as it is the most efficient and effective method- it also helps prevent destructive chewing, door darting, and gives a dog a place to retreat. We recommend a positive reinforcement training class to instill good dog manners, provide socialization, and build a strong dog/adopter bond- This dog has a voucher for discounted classes.
