Roger - Husky and Cattle Dog Dog Available for Adoption in Springfield, Tennessee

About Roger:

Roger is a moderately low energy pup. He prefers to be with his person when outdoors and will "herd" his humans around by walking in circles around them. He likes balls to be thrown, but will not bring them back to you. He knows how to settle on his own when inside. He also knows how to entertain himself with toys when inside.

Roger walks with a loose lead but needs some reassurance to remain confident on the leash. Roger responds best to gentle verbal correction/reassurance. He knows how to sit on command and has a fairly good recall. Roger is motivated best by praise but does take treats gently when they are offered to him.

Roger does well with men, women, and children. He maintains positive body language with other dogs when outside of the kennels but is fearful of other dogs when walking through the kennel environment. Roger allows full body handling/petting.URGENT
