Ludwig was found as a stray in August. Since coming to us, he has shown both cooperative and challenging behaviors. The Challenges (Honest Truth): -Can be inconsistent in demeanor - friendly and social at times, but can be reactive when in high stimulus situations. -Strong and can be difficult to leash walk. -Can be stubborn; requires guidance and structure. -Interest in other dogs is mixed; while neutral with most, he may feed off the energy of reactive dogs and escalate. -Tends to lose focus and burn out quickly during training sessions. Why He's Worth It: -Cooperative with leashing and responsive to corrections on walks. -Treat-motivated and capable of learning with consistency and short, engaging training. -Redirectable when presented with distractions or reactive dogs. -Social and interactive when engaged, with a willingness to connect when he feels secure. Ludwig will do best with an adopter who has experience reading dog behavior, can provide consistent training, and is comfortable managing a dog who may be unpredictable at times.
