About Koda

He loves meat-flavored treats and knows how to make quick work of training—he’s already mastered sit, lay down, shake, and spin, and takes treats gently. Koda’s potty and crate trained, well accustomed to walking with a harness, and needs to be crated when left alone or he finds things to chew. He’s lived with both a cat and another dog before, though he tends to be pushy with smaller male dogs. A home without small dogs suits him best.
