Onyx considers every human and dog he passes on walks an immediate potential friend. He has previously lived with young children and is very interested in them on his walks. Some neighbourhood cats peak his interest but not enough to chase or do anything but look. He loves an engaging game of tug and thrives when his brain is working. He is a quick learner who responds well to treats during training. Onyx already knows an impressive number of commands including: Sit, Down, & Stay, Touch, Look, & Leave It and Drop It.

There are some opportunities for Onyx's growth going forward! Because Onyx is so excited to make friends, he is actively practicing keeping all four paws on the ground instead of jumping up to say hello. As well, Onyx has shown some resource guarding around his food and a new toy. His foster family is proactively working with a veterinary behaviorist to manage this safely and set him up for long-term success. His ideal adoptive family will be comfortable continuing this structured, positive-reinforcement plan.

Onyx will do best in an active, engaged home ready for the fun and responsibility of raising a smart, energetic puppy. A commitment to continuing his positive training routine and maintaining consistent boundaries will ensure this sweet boy grows into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog.

If you're ready for games of tug, puppy antics, and a loyal sidekick, Onyx is ready to meet you!
