Jake started out skinny and guarded his food, so he’s learning to trust that he’ll always have enough. Because of his food guarding, Jake should live in a home without small children. He’s gaining weight now and feeling great. Bursting with energy, Jake needs regular exercise and would thrive as someone’s running or hiking partner. His leash skills are solid and he’s quick to pick up new tricks—a few treats go a long way. Jake gets along well with other animals and people, even if he sometimes announces arrivals with a hearty bark. He’s crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night. Jake needs at least two brisk walks a day to keep him content. He does well at the dog park and beach, and he really responds to training. Mental stimulation is just as important for him as physical activity. Your new best friend is just one click away.
