-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Nope
-Additional Information:
Teddy is a happy-go-lucky lab who loves all the usual lab things: food, people, and toys! Teddy was an "outdoor-only" dog in his previous home, which means he may need a bit of an adjustment period getting used to life indoors. Teddy is a super friendly boy who is not meant to be kept outside - he wants to be loved and included as part of the family. This sweet guy could use some help refining his manners and would benefit greatly from consistent positive reinforcement based training. Luckily he is eager to please and absolutely LOVES treats which will make training much easier. We think Teddy will make a wonderful companion to whoever adopts him, so long as they are able to provide him with what he needs (ie. plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, love, and lots of treats!).
