ZA

OTHER PETS: Za is relaxed with other dogs, gives feedback well when uncomfortable during interactions, or simply relaxes in another dog's presence after successful greetings. He would do well as an only dog, and would also be a good fit for other mellow dogs who are well socialized and communicate effectively. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Za is a relaxed dog who communicates his boundaries well, but is also a strong dog who is still learning skills such as loose leash walking. Someone experienced with strong dogs and reading dog body language would be a best fit for Za, as well as experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. [Very Experienced] KIDS: Za is uncomfortable with some handling, but will also solicit human interaction. He has not engaged in resource guarding while at TJO. Za is strong, and while mostly mellow can be jumpy when excited. Za's best fit would be with adult humans who have experience reading dog body language and will be able to respect Za's boundaries; Za will not be adopted into a home with children. [Adults Only] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Za really enjoys spending time outside, either on a walk or free roaming in one of our outdoor runs. Regular exercise combined with lots of mental enrichment such as food puzzles or games will help meet his needs. Learning new skills and tricks with positive reinforcement are also great ways to keep him active and engaged. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Za bond with his new owner as well as well as help him learn new skills and fun tricks while building confidence. [Moderate] GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Za's coat clean and matt-free, some owners choose to get professional grooms twice a year to help with the excess fur during shedding season.
