Stan is a fun pup to have around. His stout shape and beautiful brindle coat garner him lots of attention. Luckily, Stan likes to be the star of the show and happily accepts the attention. I sometimes call him “Stan the ham”! He is young so he still has lots of puppy joy to share with the world. We go on 1-2 walks a day and he enjoys playful bursts with my resident dog which helps him get through our workday. He has also been attending doggie day care and absolutely loving it. Upon his arrival the staff always say “STAAAAAN” and he trots over for hugs before the real play time begins. No matter what his day looks like he settles in during the evening either on the couch for snuggles, or in his dog bed where he snoozes until we all go to bed. He sleeps through the night from about 10pm-6am.
Stan hails from a rural area down south where he lived outside so all the city noises and “rules” of living in a house were new to Stan. He was initially a bit nervous, but quickly adjusted to a life of luxury and now rather enjoys exploring his new neighborhood on our walks. In spite of his southern heritage the snow is no match for Stan. He will still happily play outside and stick his whole head in the snow if he suspects there is something cool below. Stan loves to sniff around on our walks so we balance time for him to sniff with practicing walking well on a leash.
While we don’t have cats or kids, Stan has had the opportunity to meet both during his various adventures with us and he has done very well. I would still recommend supervision initially and around really young children as he is still a puppy and can forget his manners when he gets excited or is playing.
Stan is proving to be a quick learner and does well with boundaries. He is potty trained, crate trained, sleeps through the night, has very quickly learned to sit for pets and before he gets his food. He knows sit, wait, shake and down. He will wait before crossing the street and while he doesn’t always want to get in the car, once in he is an excellent passenger. Food is the perfect motivator for this cutie pie and can be leveraged for additional training.
Overall Stan is a great pup and we are enjoying having him around. He has shown significant growth in a short amount of time. He would love to have a doggie sibling to play with, but has also shown that he does well on his own too. He needs someone willing to help him get his wiggles out and establish regular boundaries. With continued consistency and training Stan will grow into a wonderful addition to just about any family. If you would like him to join your family apply today!
