jojo

Jojo was acquired by me eleven months ago from the Metro Nashville Shelter Foster program. He is now 23 months old. He was found on the street as a puppy (5 months). He is very affectionate, but he is also high energy and reactive, especially around other dogs. He currently weighs around 42-43 lbs.and stands about 30 inches high. He has learned the commands of sit, stay and down, but he cannot hold them for very long. He is crate-trained. He is not hostile with other dogs, but just gets so excited around them, leaping and pouncing in a playful way. I am over 65 years and have some difficulty controlling him on leash, especially if he sees or smells another dog. He could really use a large back yard with lots of space to run.
