Tonic notices small animals but doesn't have much of a prey drive. Good with baths, car rides. Easy to get into his crate.<br/><br/>Tonic is a perceptive type, he's still learning who and what is not a threat in his environment. Tonic is protective of his foster but has done well when hes been alone with veterinarians.<br/><br/>He has gotten more comfortable with being crated but is still in the process of being house trained.<br/><br/>With his thoughtful, intense expressions and knowing head tilt, Tonic stands out as a puppy who is eager to learn.
