Wyatt has done great with every dog he has met. He loves zooming around the yard with his new dog friends. He has interacted with both high-energy and low-energy dogs and did great with both. Wyatt has a little more energy than most dogs and has done great taking corrections from other dogs that tell him to leave them alone. He will play with dogs that want to play and will leave the dogs that don’t want to play alone.
Wyatt is currently living with 4 cats and does amazing with them. He showed some interest in them initially but overall just ignores them. If he goes up to a cat and they swat at him, he will walk away.
Wyatt hasn’t met any small humans. He can get excited meeting new people and he would probably need to be reminded to stay calm and not knock over any small humans in his forever home. He loves all attention and does not mind sharing his space, toys, or food with anyone.
Wyatt is mostly quiet and rarely barks. He could do great in a house or apartment as long as his humans are willing to exercise him.
