For a New Family to Know:  Marley is described as friendly, affectionate, playful and excitable. He has a high activity level and likes to play with balls and stuffed animals. In the home. Marley was the type to follow the owner around from room to room. He was kept mostly indoors and is house trained. when Marley was left alone in the home, he would bark and whine. He was not bothered by being left alone in the yard. Owner stated that Marley is crate trained and would spend 4 hours in a crate without any issues. He knows the cues sit and stay. For exercise, Marley was taken on slow walks on the leash and let out in the yard to play. When on leash, Marley tends to pull very hard.

Details on my behavior are…

Marley will bark a few times when entering the adoption room, when I approach his kennel, he is loose, wiggly and eager to come out. He allows me to leash him no problem. In the yard, Marley loves to play fetch with a rubber ball. He enjoys laying out on a blanket chewing on the toy. He allows handlers to reach for the toy and toss it to him. Marley knows the cues ” sit, Left paw and Right paw” Marley goes into his kennel with no problems.
