Watson

Watson has a bite history and will require diligent, calm, firm and consistent leadership with his adoptive family. <br/><br/>Watson is a playful and active Frenchie boy! You can often find him begging for a walk outside, looking for a good game of fetch with a small squeaky ball or, in true Frenchie fashion, searching for a soft place to take a nap. Watson struts like a perfect gentleman on a leash and gazes ahead making sure no uncertainties lie ahead. He can get uneasy when in an unfamiliar situation and will seek reassurance from his leader. Watson looks to his human for comfort (and correction, if needed) when his insecurities get the best of him. <br/>He is very food motivated and is eager to please his person, so typically firm, quick leash and verbal corrections will do the job for him, if corrections are required. <br/>Watson is currently taking Prozac to help take the edge off of his insecurities and while it has helped him greatly, he still will require a firm and consistent leader in his adoptive home. We would highly recommend that he remain on Prozac for the remainder of his lifetime. <br/>While Watson has a lot of spirit, he also has a very chill side. He very much enjoys quiet time and naps, especially if he can be near his people and hang out with them. Watson will look for his humans to follow them all around the house and is very much a “shadow dog”. Watson loves activities that offer him enrichment (walks, fetch, lick-i-mat etc). As they say, a tired dog is a happy dog, and that is very much true in Watson’s case. <br/><br/>Watson’s insecurities can also get the best of him especially when it comes to sharing high valued items (chew bones, toys, food, etc.) and he will sometimes resource guard these items when in the company of other dogs. He currently lives with 4 other furry foster dog siblings and does have to be reminded occasionally that he is *not* the boss. When he is fed he is babygated separately from the other dogs in his home and this routine seems to work best for him in order to avoid conflict during feeding times. Typically a verbal correction or squirt bottle correction will be more than sufficient for him in any situation where he may be resource guarding but a timeout in his kennel is sometimes necessary as well. Typically he is okay to share attention as long as he gets a pat or two, too, but Watson enjoys his human’s affections and will need to be watched closely if another dog near him is getting attention and he isn’t. <br/>Again, Watson will need a firm, consistent leadership in his adoptive home in order to help him continue to thrive, as he is currently in his foster home. He will need to learn to trust his new family members and proper dog manners would need to continue to be reinforced so that it is clear to him exactly what is expected of him in his adoptive home. He is extremely smart, food motivated and after proper slow introductions and being able to see that they are not a scary threat, Watson is willing to let his guard down around other easy going, laid back dogs. <br/>His foster family believes he would be best either as an only dog or in a home with maybe one other calm, easy going, low-key, non-challenging dog. As far as children, due to his bite history, he would require a home with kids who are dog-savvy, gentle, and 16 years or older. As with all of our dogs, we recommend slow introductions AND supervision around children when introducing a new dog in your home to make sure both the dog and the children are kept safe.
