Willy - TRAINED DOG

Willy is a 1.5-2yr old American Bulldog. Despite his beat up elbows he's not an older dog. He was likely living as an outdoor dog on hard concrete before he ended up at the shelter, and then landed with us. <br/><br/>Willy became a candidate for our program when he was starting to deterioriate behaviorally at the shelter. He was super stressed there, biting his leash when taken out and even biting the shoes sometimes of staff and volunteers who would walk him. But, once out of the shelter, we realized that despite all the "energy" Willy had at the shelter, he's quite a lazy dog, LOL.<br/><br/>Willy is a medium to low energy bulldog. He is well trained, but won't be winning any obedience competitions seeing as he'd rather just lay at your feet or be petted. <br/><br/>With proper introductions Willy gets along great with other same sized dogs, both male and female. He does love to play when he meets a dog who shares his play style, but also is happy to just be with or cuddle with his person. Yes, he's a big cuddler. <br/><br/>Willy also loves the water! Puddles, bath time, our doggie/kiddie pool, he loves a good splash. <br/><br/>He tolerates nail trimming and other grooming. <br/>We have not observed this dog to have any resource guarding or seperation anxeity when left alone. <br/><br/>Willy will bark (yip!) when he can see you and you're not paying attention to him. But if you walk out of sight, no more barking. <br/><br/>Overall, Willy has a very chill and relaxed demeanor. <br/><br/><br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>This dog is currently participating in our prison dog training program in Miami, Florida. <br/><br/>Our dogs become available for adoption upon completion of their training program where they meet all the criteria to pass the following AKC certifcations: <br/><br/>1.
