Axel is housebroken, crate trained, and exhibits basic obedience skills. He thrives on a leash and is familiar with invisible fencing. While he has experience with children, Axel would do best with those aged 12 and up. He's good with female dogs, but shows some same-gender aggression, so he may require careful introductions.
