Male Dog, Plott Hound
Plott Hound / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
Leroy is a very big puppy; as a Cane Corso (or part Cane Corso) he is going to be a big strong dog. Leroy's ideal humans will help him build his confidence, learn how to best handle his excitement, and support him as he puts his positive reinforcement training into practice while interacting with other dogs and humans. OTHER PETS: Leroy is excited to meet other dogs, but his exhuberant play style may be too intense for less outgoing or smaller dogs. His perfect match would be with a confident, tolerant dog who will help Leroy learn by giving appropriate feedback. Case by Case (Must Meet First) OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone with experience socializing and teaching new skills to a puppy would be Leroy's best match; he is still very much in his puppy phase, even though he is already bigger than some full grown dogs. Some Experience KIDS: Leroy is a very happy, friendly dog who is still learning how to handle his excitement but is comfortable with most handling. He gets very jumpy and mouthy when excited and also engages in humping. Positive reinforcement raining will be paramount to helping Leroy become a well-adjusted dog, but he is currently not a good match for homes with smaller humans who he might unintentionally knock down and/or injure. 15+ (Must Meet First) ACTIVITY LEVEL: Leroy is a big boy with a good amount of energy. He is still learning how to walk well on a leash but has been improving with practice; multiple daily walks or a combination of daily walks, mental enrichment, and playtime (fetch, jogging, dog sports, hiking buddy, etc) will keep Leroy exercised and happy. Olympic Athlete VETERINARY CARE: Leroy was treated for mange upon arrival at TJO, he has been improving steadily and will likely not need further treatment once he is fully recovered. **vet staff please check** Routine LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Leroy is still at the beginning of his training journey & will do best learning with someone who can offer him both patience and confidence. Positive reinforcement training will help Leroy bond with his new owner as well as help him learn basic cues and skills. Further positive training will open the possibilities of participation in dog sports or acting as an adventure companion to his humans. Intense GROOMING: Minimal
