A volunteer writes: What’s black and white and wiggles all over? Prieto! Not only is this guy as cute as can be, he’s down right magical! He has the ability to instantly turn frowns upside down, is reported to be gentle with children, enjoys baths, and is even said to be respectful of cats!! What he lacks in leash manners he more than makes up for with his contagious brand of enthusiasm and the loving looks he frequently doles out to his handlers. He sometimes expresses his love by jumping up, so he might need a brush up on his manners, but he is very food-motivated and responsive (plus his displays of affection aren’t limited to the boisterous kind: he gently licks my hands and will sit at my feet before toppling over onto his back). He seems housebroken, was waggy checking out a dog in the pen adjacent to us, knows some commands, and love, love, loves to play with toys! He fetches, tugs, and even flops over for belly rubs with toy-in-mouth. He takes sweet and fun to new levels, and hopes you’ll come fall in love with him at Brooklyn ACC!

ENERGY LEVEL: Prieto is reported to have a high energy level in his previous home in line with what has been seen in the care center; he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training is recommended _X_Anxiety: Prieto has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center as he was mounting handlers and difficult to refocus continually through the SAFER. This behavior was not reported at intake or in his previous home so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment _X_Strength/leash pulling
