He knows commands like sit and stay and shows eagerness to learn. Puzzle toys and enrichment games are right up his alley to keep him stimulated. Rambo walks nicely on a leash and appreciates gentle guidance from his humans. When meeting new people or animals, Rambo can be a tad cautious, so slow, respectful introductions are key. Give him time to acclimate, and his sweet personality will shine. He would thrive in a quieter home setting without a lot of distractions and commotion and can form deep bonds once he feels secure. Rambo gets along well with cats but hasn't been tested around children; he is likely best suited for a home without younger kids but could do well with older, respectful children aged 15 and up. Rambo has shown a bit of an escape artist nature, so a secure yard and attentiveness around doors is vital. Luckily, he's easy to catch with calm handling.
