About Wylie

Meet Wylie! Wylie is an 11-month-old, 67-lb Great Pyrenees mix currently thriving in foster care thanks to structure and routine. He’s a thoughtful, responsive young dog who has settled into daily life with clear communication from his foster mom, a seasoned dog trainer. Wylie does great with neutral female dogs—relaxed, polite, and respectful of space, both indoors and out. He’s working on gradual intros to other foster dogs, always with obedience training built in. Outdoors, he’s playful and friendly; indoors, he’s calm and appropriately social. High-value rewards and positive reinforcement keep him engaged and make training sessions productive. In areas he considers “his space,” like his kennel or the office, Wylie sometimes shows territorial or barrier reactivity. This isn’t aggression but rather learned behavior—very manageable with clear, steady leadership. Any adopter should anticipate similar behaviors cropping up in the first few months, but with consistency and a routine, these are addressable. Wylie is crate trained, house trained, microchipped, neutered, and fully up to date on vaccines. Given his intelligence and drive to learn, he’ll do best with someone committed to structure, ongoing training, and consistent boundaries. Ready for a smart, eager pup who learns fast? Wylie is waiting in Coldwater, MI for his next chapter. Your new best friend is just one click away.
