NikoNiko Head

SENIOR

Niko is a handsome, large (about 95 pounds) black and tan 8 year old male. His previous owners found themselves unable to care for him and turned him in. He loves getting attention and being around his people. Nico is good with adults and children over about 9 years old, but is a little too mouthy and rambunctious for small children. Niko loves Kong toys and playing with you. Niko is housebroken.

His leash behavior good. He has been trained to heal on leash when told, even around other people and dogs. Only gentle tugs are required to keep him in line. Although Niko can be pushy and strong-willed, he takes correction without resentment.

Niko will sit and lay down on command and is very gentle when eating treats out of your hand. Niko is polite towards other dogs when out in public on leash, and has little interest to the resident cat in his foster home. When out and about at pet-friendly stores including Costco, Home Depot, Pet Smart and Lowes his behavior is excellent. He sleeps quietly in a crate at night.

Niko loves car rides, and rides quietly, laying down in the back seat for longer trips. He will wait patiently for you while you're in a store shopping. He also enjoys curling up near your feet and taking a nap.

This is a Level 3 Dog. Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires.
