Wheeler's Story

Loving, energetic buddy!<br/><br/>I love to be wherever you are, whether that's cuddling on the couch or walking through the neighborhood! Even though I'm 6 years old, I have a ton of energy and haven't quite caught on that 60 pound dogs aren't lap dogs. I'm a 'dog person's' dog and love harder than anyone you know. I'd do best in a home without small children.<br/><br/>General Socialization Notes:<br/>I'm a proud graduate of basic and intermediate training classes. I know basic cues like sit, stay, down, shake, and leave it. I walk right next to you on a leash (I prefer the right-hand side!). I'm crate trained and prefer to sleep there at night. I'm house-broken and am used to keeping myself entertained at home alone during a normal workday. I do get excited around new people and need reminders not to jump up - my high energy can be a lot if you're not a dog person! I do get sad if I can see you outside and I'm stuck inside. I will probably bark to remind you that I want to hang out wherever you are. I will also bark in the yard if I see another dog or the Amazon Prime guy. Someone has to keep the house safe!<br/><br/>Does Wheeler like other animals?<br/> I get nervous around new dogs on walks and may bark at them, but if you remind me that you're there for me, I can calm down. I will need to work on my reactivity. I don't get along with cats, so the cat I live with now stays in a separate part of the house. I'd do best as an only dog.<br/><br/>Does Wheeler like children?<br/>I get nervous around young children and would do best in a house with either no kids or much older kids.<br/><br/>Favorite Toys:<br/>My favorite toy is anything that's designed to be chewed up, like a stringy rope toy. I also love to play fetch with tennis balls and then lay down to chew them.<br/><br/>Ideal Forever Home:<br/>I will do best in an active home without young children. While I do like to relax while my humans are at work, I'm used to walking for at least a half hour each day with plenty of longer walks and hikes on the weekends. I respond well to a calm, attentive presence. I am looking forward to training to help me manage my excitement in new situations. I'd love a home with a yard so I can run and play! I'd do best in a home without cats.
