TOMMY

Contact foster at ksblanks34@gmail.com - Has an old injury on his front let - He is a happy-go-lucky boy - Super sweet + treat motivated - Has puppy energy and would benefit from continued practive of basic obedience training and consistency - Loves toys, belly rubs + snuggling on the sofa - Sillest boy who jumped right inside the toy bin and had the time of his life - Happiest by your side, staying close and following you around - Learning sit and lay down which he does very well when there are no distractions and is getting better during outings. Tommy gets anxious or overexcited in new environments, but he responds very well to the “chill” command when it’s given in a soothing voice. He does experience some separation anxiety, though he typically settles within 10–20 minutes depending on the day. Guiding him to “chill” through the camera microphone has also been helpful.<br/><br/>He is alert and can be reactive to noises and people around the apartment building. His reactivity can include a stiff body, low growl, barking, or lunging—especially when first stepping outside (he improves the farther he gets from the door), at drive-thru workers, or when another dog growls at him during introductions. His foster reports that this reactivity toward strangers, other dogs, and loud bangs in and around the home is getting a lot better. <br/><br/>During outings, he continues to do very well. He has made great friends with a few neighbors and has had positive interactions with other dogs, enjoying running around and taking turns playing chase. He wants to play with any dog who will have him. While he has experienced dog parks, they are not the best option for him right now. On a recent trip to PetSmart for socialization, he was initially overexcited but settled in and became curious and interested in everything around him. <br/><br/>He has improved with his leash-biting tendency by working on “no mouth” and learning more appropriate ways to play. <br/><br/>He is very treat-motivated, which is helping his training tremendously. Tommy will benefit from continued work with a trainer regarding his reactivity, but he is making meaningful progress and showing great potential.
