Male Dog, Pit Bull Terrier
Pit Bull Terrier (Medium Coat)
Description:
Ãgon was nervous when he first arrived at TJO, he wasn't sure if he was in a safe place or if all the strangers around him were even friendly. He took a chance on us, started making friends, and has relaxed enough to show us his goofy, high energy side. OTHER PETS: Ãgon meets other dogs well and responds to their redirection just as well, he is tolerant and gives his own feedback appropriately, but he does also engage in mounting behavior. As mentioned he redirects well, but he would not do well with a dog who is not tolerant or does not provide appropriate feedback. Case by Case (Must Meet First) OWNER EXPERIENCE: Ãgon's best fit would be with a human who is physically strong enough to tolerate the excessive pulling he does while learning to walk with a loose leash and has experience teaching a dog who will need some extra patience. Some Experience KIDS: Ãgon is an outgoing boy who is still learning the best ways to interact with humans when he gets excited; he can be jumpy and mouthy and smaller humans may be unintentionally injured due to his antics. 13+ (Must Meet First)ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ãgon is a strong boy who enjoys the chance to get his energy out; multiple daily walks, supervised playtime, and mental enrichment would be ideal. If Ãgon is shown how to participate appropriately he would likely be an amazing dog athlete or human adventure buddy - both will take some positive reinforcement training. Good Walking Buddy / Olympic AthleteVETERINARY CARE: Routine LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Ãgon bond with his new owner as well as help him learn important skills and cues. Ãgon will do best with support and patience as he learns how to handle his excitement in appropriate ways and walk with a loose leash. ModerateGROOMING: Minimal
